Week 7 of the 2023 NFL season will wrap up Monday night with the San Francisco 49ers (-7, 43.5) on the road facing the Minnesota Vikings.
How are you betting this game, and how much are you factoring in the injuries?
Schatz: Deebo Samuel is out, and Trent Williams is doubtful, which might as well be out. Doubtful players very, very rarely play. But Christian McCaffrey is available, and he's really the straw that stirs the drink.
The 49ers are still the best team in the league against a Vikings team that has been average with poor luck this season. One specific stat I'll point out: We know the Vikings like to blitz, but their defense is actually worse when they blitz.
They allow 6.75 net yards per pass versus 4.89 net yards on other passes. I think Brock Purdy can manage the 49ers' offense even under the pressure, especially if he has McCaffrey alongside him. I'll take 49ers -7.
The 49ers are without Deebo Samuel, so more touches could be in store for Brandon Aiyuk. How interested are you in playing Aiyuk's receiving yards prop, which is set at 70.5 yards.
