The 49ers travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings on Monday Night Football in NFL Week 7. On paper, the teams are on opposite ends of the spectrum, but the Vikings are capable of lighting up the scoreboard, which makes this a great game for anytime touchdown scorer props picks.
The game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET at U.S. Bank Stadium (ESPN), and we’re looking at the best picks on the market for player TD props consideration.
49ers vs. Vikings touchdown scorer props & MNF odds
The 49ers are coming off a stunning letdown game against the Browns last weekend and are still favored by on the road. The Vikings are 2-4 this season but have played multiple contenders competitively, including the Chiefs and Eagles. They may not pull off the upset, but they will likely find the end zone once or twice.
With plenty of firepower on both sides, there are no shortages of players to choose from to cross the pylon. Here are the ones we like the most.
49ers' George Kittle anytime TD scorer odds for MNF
San Francisco tight end George Kittle sports among the shortest odds to find paydirt tonight against Minnesota:
Kittle’s targets have been up and down this season. During the first three games, he averaged six targets a game – about four more than he has averaged in the last three games.
However, he usually sees the ball more after a game where he feels like an afterthought to San Francisco's offense. Last week against Cleveland, he had one catch on two targets for one yard.
That’s in large part due to the Browns’ defense. Fortunately for Brock Purdy and company, the Vikings aren’t nearly as good on that side of the ball, especially against tight ends.
Opponents have attacked the Vikings’ defense with the tight end this year. The Vikings have allowed the fifth-most receiving yards and are tied for the third-most touchdowns allowed to tight ends this year.
That all spells good news for Kittle ( to score a TD) as he looks to bounce back from one of the quietest games of his career.
Vikes' Jordan Addison anytime TD scorer odds for MNF
Jordan Addison has scored a touchdown in four of the Vikings’ six games this season. He was only targeted once in the two games he didn’t score. The 49ers have a top defense in the league and will focus on keeping the Vikings’ stars – T.J. Hockenson and Alexander Mattison – out of the end zone.
The attention his teammates draw has served him well all season, and that shouldn’t change in this one. He is tied for third in the league in receiving touchdowns this season.
Addison has the second-lowest number of targets of all wideouts and tight ends with our or more touchdowns. Two of his touchdowns have come in the red zone, alluding to him taking advantage of his teammates' attention in critical moments.
Look for him to take advantage at odds of the few opportunities San Francisco allows in this one.
49ers' Brandon Aiyuk anytime TD odds vs. Vikings
The 49ers may be without their best wideout in Debo Samuel come game time. Samuel is listed as doubtful, thanks to his shoulder injury against Cleveland. Even with Samuels in the lineup, Aiyuk has led all 49ers receivers in targets over the last three weeks.
Aiyuk hasn’t seen the end zone since Week 1, but the Vikings are tied for sixth most passing touchdowns allowed with nine. The Arizona Cardinals are the only team San Francisco has faced who have allowed more and kept Aiyuk from scoring.
Given the Vikings’ struggles stopping the pass, Aiyuk ( to score a TD tonight) could be on schedule to end his touchdownless streak.
