49ers are 6-point Road Underdogs T he Minnesota Vikings almost got to the Super Bowl in 2017.  This offseason, they added the franchise quarterback who had been the 49ers' target, Kirk Cousins, before the miracle Jimmy Garoppolo acquisition happened.  So the Vikings understandably are a favorite. Jimmy Garoppolo will have something to do with the outcome of today's game though.  He's had a full training camp with Coach Kyle Shanahan and they've had the full summer to prepare for this game.  Don't count out Jimmy G and this hungry 49ers team.
