5 minSan Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings Best Bet: Can the 49ers Connect with Brandon Aiyuk on MNF?
The San Francisco 49ers are pretty banged up heading into tonight's Monday Night Football matchup versus the Minnesota Vikings.
With the 49ers missing one of their biggest playmakers in Deebo Samuel, and CMC not at 100%, I'm confident that Brock Purdy will have to rely on a healthy Brandon Aiyuk.
I believe his line of 4.5 is way too low for a receiver who is arguably a top 15 receiver in the NFL currently. This should be a close game from looking at the spread, so I believe Purdy and the 49ers will be passing most of the game.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings Prediction
If we all learned anything from Sunday NFL football yesterday, it was that the public took an absolute beating (Denver covered, Chicago covered, New York Giants covered, and Baltimore covered). In tonight's Monday Night Football matchup, all the public money is on the San Francisco 49ers -6.5. I think this could actually be a pretty good game seeing that this line is struggling to move for San Francisco too much, especially through 7 points. Deebo is out tonight, and this is a get right game for Purdy after struggling last week. Aiyuk has quietly been a top wide receiver in games this season when he is healthy.
Aiyuk had 10 targets against arguably the best defense in the NFL in the Cleveland Browns, and Purdy just couldn't connect on his throws to Aiyuk. With a banged up Christian McCaffrey and an injured Deebo Samuel, I'm sure coach Shanahan has some plays schemed to get the ball to his lone healthy playmaker, Brandon Aiyuk.
