San Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings: Predictions and latest odds for NFL Week 2
NFL Week 2 continues with the highly anticipated clash between the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday.
The defending NFC champions dominated their Week 1 game against the New York Jets, securing a 32-19 victory over a team led by Aaron Rodgers, who made his return from an Achilles tendon injury. Quarterback Brock Purdy completed 19 of 29 pass attempts for 231 yards and added 11 rushing yards in Monday’s win. The 49ers achieved the victory without star running back Christian McCaffrey, who didn’t play in a last-minute decision due to a calf injury. The star running back has also been ruled out against the Vikings.
The Minnesota Vikings are coming off a Week 1 victory against the New York Giants. Veteran quarterback Sam Darnold, who left the San Francisco 49ers to sign a one-year deal worth $ 10 million with the Vikings, put up an impressive performance. He completed 19 of 24 passes for 208 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in the 28-6 victory over the Giants.
Here are the latest odds and predictions for the Week 2 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings.

NFL Week 2: San Francisco 49ers vs. Minnesota Vikings predictions and picks
ESPN’s Seth Walder: 49ers 31, Vikings 24
Walder writes: “49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will record 100-plus receiving yards. One bad week, we can chalk up to rust — he had just two catches for 28 yards in the 49ers’ opener. But I don’t see the weak numbers lasting long because Aiyuk is just too good: He was the No. 1 WR in ESPN’s receiver tracking metric’s overall score last season for a reason.”
CBS Sports: 49ers but proceed with caution
Garrett Podell writes: “San Francisco certainly has the matchups to prevail on Sunday and improve to 2-0, but a Sam Darnold and Aaron Jones revenge game with a healthy Justin Jefferson could potentially prove to be tougher than anticipated. Jones ran for 108 rushing yards on 18 carries for a six yards per carry average in the Green Bay Packers’ 24-21 NFC Divisional Round loss at the 49ers in January. Minnesota has enough credible matchups, plus some voodoo (if you believe in superstitious things), when this matchup takes place at U.S. Bank Stadium. Sunday afternoon between these two squads should be top tier programming in the NFL’s 1 p.m. ET Week 2 slate.”
Pickswise: San Francisco 49ers
Kevin Davies writes: “The Vikings had the perfect Week 1. First of all, they were fortunate enough to play the Giants. Daniel Jones looked just as sharp as normal, which is about as sharp as a marble, and Minnesota came away with the 28-6 win. The Vikings defense was putting pressure on Jones all game and that resulted in 5 sacks and 2 interceptions. On offense, Sam Darnold looked fantastic and he was unsurprisingly targeting Justin Jefferson throughout the game. However, we have to put this win into perspective. New York is expected to have one of the worst offenses to go with a severely below-average defense in 2024. It would have been concerning if Minnesota didn’t stomp on the Giants. Now the Vikings have to go from facing Daniel Jones and Malik Nabers to Brock Purdy and Deebo Samuel. The difference is night and day, and San Francisco should demonstrate that by covering the touchdown spread on Sunday.”
Doc Sports: Take the Vikings
Guy Bruhn writes: “The Vikings are relinquishing 6.0 points per game, which has them sitting 1st of all teams in the NFL. They have allowed 0 touchdowns through the air in addition to 166.0 yards/outing, which has them in 16th in the NFL. Minnesota has surrendered a total of 74 yards on the ground. The Vikings defense has taken part in 68 plays, which ranks 25th in the league. They have compiled 2 turnovers on the year.”

2026 is set to be a big year for sports in the Bay Area. In February, Santa Clara’s Levi Stadium is slated to host the Super Bowl, which is expected to cost the city an estimated $6.3 million. Later in the year, six FIFA World Cup games are scheduled to take place at the stadium. Those games, while costly, promise to draw tens of thousands of fans to the region, with tourism dollars close behind.
Now, the Bay Area Host Committee, the local nonprofit hosting the games, is doubling down.
Country singer Chris Stapleton is set to play the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium on Saturday, Feb. 7, the day before the Super Bowl. Songwriter Sierra Ferrell is slated to appear as a special guest. It’s the first event in a series organized by the committee, called BAHC Live, which “will present world-class concerts, fan zones, festivals, and watch parties” timed around local sporting events, according to a news release.
The concert series will benefit Tipping Point Community, the antipoverty nonprofit founded by Mayor Daniel Lurie. (Lurie stepped down as CEO in 2019.) BAHC Live will announce more events soon.
Stapleton, who emerged from the Nashville country scene, has enjoyed both commercial and critical success for his music, which weaves together influences from soul, country and bluegrass. The singer has won 11 Grammy awards, and in 2023, he headlined Stagecoach Festival.
Ferrell, who sharpened her craft as a longtime busker, has emerged in recent years as a fresh voice in roots music. This year, her latest effort “Trail of Flowers” won the Grammy for Best Americana Album. She played Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in 2021.

Dozens protest eviction of 3 disabled seniors from apartment in SF: ‘Where are we going to go?’
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — People rallied in San Francisco on Sunday in support of three elderly residents who are facing eviction from their rent-controlled apartments. The community protest was an opportunity to stand up for seniors on fixed incomes and tenants’ rights across the city.
Dozens of tenants’ rights advocates marched through Noe Valley in San Francisco at the front steps of a Victorian apartment house where three seniors are now facing eviction.
“If you’ve ever been displaced, you know the profound toll having your housing under threat takes on you,” said one advocate speaker.
“I’m so impressed they’re doing this for us,” said tenant Brian Harrington.
Harrington was surprised to see the protest rally out front. He said he and his two longtime roommates have health issues. One has lived there since 1977. All of them are being evicted by their landlord.

“We’re in serious trouble, because I’m 69. I’m the youngest one. I just went through my 11th heart surgery and these guys are seven years older than me, my roommates. Where are we going to go?,” Harrington said.
Harrington says, he and his roommates have been quiet tenants and paid rent on time.
“She just wants to make triple the amount of money. It’s just that simple,” Harrington said.
Advocates from Tenant and Neighborhood Councils, which support renters, are trying to stop the evictions. The group says the situation is not unusual in a city where the cost of living can be exorbitant, especially for those on a fixed income.

“They’re facing eviction like many seniors in our city, honestly, at an attempt to get them out of their rent-controlled apartments, so the rent can go back to market rate,” said Eleanor Allen-Henderson from Tenant and Neighborhood Councils or TANC.
Advocates say a court hearing on the eviction is scheduled for next week in San Francisco.
A person who tenants identified as the owner of their building had no comment. ABC7 News also reached out to the landlord’s attorneys but have not heard back.
Advocates say they’ll to continue protest the eviction of the seniors.
“Seniors deserve to stay in their homes. We believe in a city where people are housed and safe,” Allen-Henderson said.
