Scouts inc is predicting a vikings win. 24-20
In matchups they gave us the edge in LBs and head coach everything else went to the vikings
here are few points from the article since i cant post the whole thing
1. How effective will the 49ers' eight-man front be? Look for the 49ers to stick with their eight-man front for the entire game as long as it is close. In Week 2, the Detroit defense did a nice job with the eight-man box versus Minnesota in the first half but got away from it once they fell behind. When Vikings QB Brett Favre sees the seven-man box, he'll call an automatic audible to the run. He did that against the Lions.
7. How effective will an injured Gore (ankle sprain) be, and how many touches will he get?: He needs to get at least 25 touches this week if the 49ers are going to pull this upset on the road. The 49ers might struggle to run the ball this week if the Vikings bring their usual stingy run defense to the table. Gore has a big advantage over the Vikings LBs in the passing game. Look for the 49ers to use him this week on little swing passes to get him one-on-one in space where he has a chance to make some big plays.
