Pre-Game:
Get ready for a surprisingly great game on the turf field in Minneapolis. The Vikings are coming off another win, beating the Lions 27-13 in Detroit. The 49ers had another surprisingly impressive showing, easily taking care of the Seattle Seahawks 23-10 on their home field. Both teams are coming off back-to-back wins, starting the season 2-0. Something’s got to give!

49ers:
Well, what can I say, San Fran is 2-0. I think everyone is surprised to see them undefeated going into Week 3. However, they have been playing pretty solid on both sides of the football, and they are starting to prove everyone they belong. If you watched the 49er vs Seahawk game, you would have saw Frank Gore run right though Seattle’s defense, rushing for 207 yards and 2 touchdowns. Gore led all running backs in Week 2 stats.

Vikings:
The Vikings are off and running as well, literally. Superstar Adrian Peterson is leading all running backs in the NFL with 272 yards in two games. Although Brett Favre hasn’t been throwing for 300+ yards a game, he has been having an outstanding season. Currently, he is second in overall passer rating at 110.2, first in passing accuracy completing 77.1% of his attempts, and hasn’t thrown any interceptions thus far which might be his most impressive stat.

49ers vs Vikings Prediction:
This game is going to be a great match-up, with two undefeated teams. This game will also be the first home game for the Vikings. Although Brett Favre has always struggled on turf, going back to his Green Bay Packers days against his now team Minnesota Vikings, I don’t foresee him struggling this go around. Favre is going to be excited playing for his new team with his new fans in Minneapolis. He always seems to step up his game a notch when high anticipation is on the line. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Favre throw for over 300+ yards in this game, but an interception might not be far behind. Also, this will be a great game to watch on the ground. Peterson and Gore are the number one and three leading rushers in the NFL going into this game. For some reason I see Peterson rushing for 100+ yards, and the Vikings defense stopping Gore short of that key number. In the end, I have to stick with my pre-season prediction of having the Vikings going to the Super Bowl. Minnesota will lose, but not this game. The Vikings dominant offense in Favre and Peterson will be too much to handle for the 49ers defense. Vikings out on top.

Minnesota Vikings Beat Point Spread and I take the Over
