The VikingsTerritory collective staff prediction for the Minnesota Vikings date with the San Francisco 49ers is ready.
Minnesota can improve to 6-5 after Week 12 if they knock off the 5-5 49ers, who just knocked off the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11.
The writers at VikingsTerritory predict the Vikings will win their sixth game of the season. Last week, we picked the Vikings to win by four points over at the Green Bay Packers. Minnesota won by three.
Six out of our 10 contributors picked Minnesota to win over San Francisco, with the group close to evenly split.
Here’s how the panel sees the score for Week 12:
- Dustin Baker: 49ers Win, 27-20
- Sean Borman: 49ers Win, 26-24
- Josh Frey: Vikings Win, 34-24
- Henrique Gucciardi: Vikings Win, 28-21
- Wes Johnson: Vikings Win, 23-20
- Kyle Joudry: 49ers Win, 31-24
- Kirby O’Connor: Vikings Win, 24-7
- Bob Sansevere: 49ers Win, 27-24
- Ali Siddiqui: Vikings Win, 27-24
- Mike Wobschall: Vikings Win, 31-30
Mathematically en masse, we predict the Vikings top the 49ers by a score of 26-24.
Here are the season standings for our writers’ predictions:
- Josh Frey: 8-2
- Kyle Joudry: 8-2
- Dustin Baker: 7-3
- Wes Johnson: 7-3
- Mike Wobschall: 7-3
- Sean Borman: 6-4
- Kirby O’Connor: 6-4
- Ali Siddiqui: 6-4
- Andrew Waters: 6-4
- Henrique Gucciardi: 5-5
- Bob Sansevere: 4-6
Sean Borman and Andrew Waters most accurately predicted the outcome during the last Vikings game. The Vikings won 34-31. Borman and Waters picked Minnesota by three.
The Vikings are currently three-point underdogs to defeat the 49ers in Santa Clara on Sunday.
