Why Bet on The San Francisco 49ers?
Why should you consider betting on the Niners in this regular season opener? Well, there’s the fact that San Francisco has never lost a game that Jimmy Garoppolo has started. Combine that with the fact that Frisco has one of the best offensive minds in the league in head coach Kyle Shanahan and it’s plausible that the Niners could put their fair share of points on the board with Jimmy G under center. The 49ers averaged a healthy 28.8 points per game in winning their final five regular season games last season while hanging 44 points on a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that finished second in point allowed a year ago.Team Statistics

Why Bet on The Minnesota Vikings?
Why should you consider betting on the Vikings in their home and regular season opener? Well, because Minnesota has the best defense in all of football and will almost certainly be better offensively in 2018 than they were a year ago because of the addition of Kirk Cousins. Minnesota almost pulled off the rare feat of ranking first across the board defensively in 2017 and they’re going to be very good again on that side of the ball under no-nonsense head coach Mike Zimmer. However, it is on the offensive side of the ball where I believe we could see the Vikings grow exponentially in 2018. Not only does Minnesota now have a better quarterback than the one they had last season, but they also have explosive running back Dalvin Cook back on the field after his rookie season was cut short because of a torn ACL last season.Team Statistics
