The 49ers began their quest for another long season six days ago with a solid overall performance on Monday Night Football. Playing against the returning Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, San Francisco's defense was exceptional, holding the Jets to just 266 yards of offense and two touchdowns. Brock Purdy and the Niners' offense managed 401 yards but only reached the end zone twice as former Michigan kicker Jake Moody made six field goals in a 32-19 victory.

The Vikings entered the 2024 season with limited expectations, especially after quarterback JJ McCarthy was ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in the preseason. But against the underperforming New York Giants in Week 1, their defense made some big plays in a 28-6 loss. Minnesota intercepted two passes from Daniel Jones and Andrew Van Ginkel returned one of them for a touchdown to win the game. Sam Darnold wasn't bad, throwing for over 200 yards and two touchdowns. It's still a long season and the Vikings could be brought back down to earth on Sunday, but a Week 1 win has given fans optimism.

The Niners have a narrow lead over the Vikings historically with a record of 25-24-1, but Minnesota did manage to pull off a win in Minneapolis last year.

MY CHOICE: 49ers win, 27-17
