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.”

Atmospheric river forces flight delays, cancelations at SFO
As an atmospheric river makes its way into the Bay Area, flights at San Francisco International Airport have been drastically impacted.
According to Flight Aware, the airport saw more than 430 delays on Wednesday and more than 60 cancellations. With the storm not projected to clear up for a few days, aviation experts said it will impact those beginning their travel for Thanksgiving week.
“If we can’t get out of this weather, which it doesn’t look like we’re going to until sometime next week, all these people could be delayed and probably will be delayed to their destination,” said Mike McCaron, an aviation expert.
Donnie Pascal, who was flying to Florida, and their family had their flight delayed by two hours.
“I got snacks. I got my phone,” Pascal said.
Some passengers went to SFO to find out their flights were canceled.
As the storm progresses, more flights can be impacted, as the FAA continually reviews the number of planes the airport can accept per hour. Then, airlines have to respond accordingly.
McCaron said he recommends that travelers stay in touch with their carrier and check their flight status via an application.
According to the National Weather Service, several inches of rain have already fallen in the North Bay and are expected to spread further south in the region.

This $300,000 San Francisco home is a hot sale — but here's the catch
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — How would you like to buy a house in San Francisco for $300,000?
There’s one out there, but it is going to need some work.
It’s on Lowell Street near Morse Street in the Crocker-Amazon neighborhood, and it is definitely a fixer-upper. There is no bathroom, kitchen, running water or electricity–and it has heavy fire damage.
But, there’s a good selling point for the property.

“The lot itself is about almost 2,600 square feet. It’s pretty narrow but goes back a ways. So, as it is, the house has a very large backyard. But if you were to knock down the house but could build something within in that whole parcel, you could have a sizeable single family home, or potentially a multi-unit building, according to the listing agent,” said Garrett Leahy with the San Francisco Standard, who covered the story.
One thing that could add to any obstacle: if someone wants to knock it down and start over, they’ll need to get a demolition permit and new plans approved.
Tuesday was the deadline to make an offer.

San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay Packers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 12 game
Andrew Whitworth helps us break down the latest NFL storylines
Andrew Whitworth stops by to talk all things NFL and tells us about his new partnership with Tide.
Sports Seriously
The Green Bay Packers nearly lost to the Chicago Bears last week, in what would’ve been a massive upset, snapping a 10-game win streak for the cheese heads against their rivals. Now, the San Francisco 49ers are headed to Lambeau, fresh off a last-second defeat at the hands of the Seattle Seahawks.
Neither team played their best in Week 11, but only one of them walked away with a win. That speaks to Green Bay’s persistence. Unlike the 49ers, Green Bay has been able to squeak out close games, where San Francisco crumbles to bits under any sort of pressure. All that is to say that it is a wonder how some people still believe in the 49ers. Perhaps a win over a tough Green Bay squad would restore some faith.
Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 12 matchup.

Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 24, Packers 21
The Packers, frankly, should’ve lost last week against the Bears. The 49ers are wildly inconsistent, and the defense has had significant struggles this season. Time is running out for San Francisco, however, and the Niners must keep pace in the NFC West.
Tyler Dragon: 49ers 23, Packers 22
The 49ers let one slip away against Seattle last week. At some point, the 49ers have to flip the switch if they want to make another Super Bowl run. A win in Green Bay can catapult the 49ers in what’s been a sluggish 11 weeks.
Richard Morin: Packers 30, 49ers 27
The 49ers have burned me (and a lot of other prognosticators) all season, so I just can’t side with them to win at Lambeau. San Francisco will still be alive in the division race even after a loss.
Jordan Mendoza: 49ers 26, Packers 24
This matchup is tough because of how inconsistent both sides have been this season. Look for Christian McCaffrey to finally break free and come out with a much-needed road victory.
