    Interesting Vikings Trend

    I don’t place much credence in these trends because I maintain that a game played in 1996 has no bearing on a game that’s going to be played in 2020 but if you do the Vikings are 3 and 14 straight up in January since 1988 and 4-13 ATS.

    I still like the Vikes this weekend though.

    They really struggle on grass and outdoors.

    Lots of road playoff games, but remember a lot of those are Denny Green 1 and done years (92-97).

    Outdoor losses to Wash, SF, GB, Dal, Phi 2xs, NYG...

    I think MN the better team and more well coached here. Just need the front 4 to get a half step here....

    Trends mean something. Look, if they sucked on grass this year and last year still.......maybe be a bit hesitant. Then again, some dome teams play well out of the dome. See Falcons on their run and the Saints too.

    Oh sure plenty of trends I pay attention to but some aren’t as relevant as others.

    Vikings are getting healthy at the right time, but have never been too good on the west coast (and on grass).

    Wow Minny I'm just laughing. I know you're a Vikes guy so I come in peace. Apparently, the 49ers have "absolutely no chance" to win this weekend. We aren't talking about the 6.5, we are talking about an outright win.

    I got nothing. Good luck this weekend. I needed these few weeks off. I see a 27-23 win in a nail biter (per 49ers protocol).

    The 49ers have their full roster back since week 6.

    Dee Ford opposite Bosa, starting safety Tartt (backup was a huge fall off, we are still rebuilding and lacking a little depth) and..

    Kwon penetrating Alexander who is incredible at his position.

    Everyone saw Cousins not penetrate up a game and the D played great, and suddenly they are world beaters?
    .
    SBR is going to melt down Saturday night.

    I thought it was a good match up with the Saints - both dome teams.

    Vikes did play well at the Chargers.

    49r's beat the Saints at NO 48-46 and also beat the crap out of the Packers in SF.

    Weather will be fine. I am interested in how the 49r's defend Cook and what the Vikings do to keep Kittle in Check

    I'm hoping they get to the super bowl

    they've lost every one they've been

    surely that stat trend is very relative

    0-4 losers

    Jan 11, 1987 last time Vikings played a playoff game in Frisco.

    It was a great day. I laughed at the niners all day.

    They are playing there again on Jan 11. 2020.

    ATS trends are much different than straight up trends

    49ers run defense has struggled despite the strong front four, no pressure on cousins either after the big win.

    That was a great day, but I think your history us off. These teams seem to meet regularly in the post season and I believe the Vikes were back there again in 88 or 89 and also jan of 98 after beating nyg in rd1
