NFL best bets at FanDuel for Sunday, Oct. 11
Vikings -2.5 vs. Saints
Seahawks -3 vs. 49ers
Vikings -2.5 vs. Saints
Minnesota is undefeated heading into Sunday's game and should be getting star receiver Justin Jefferson from an ankle injury. Kyler Murray has not looked great with his new team, but it has not mattered as Minnesota's defense is the best at preventing opponents from scoring. On the flip side, the Saints have given up 80 points over their last two games and cannot establish anything on the ground. The SportsLine model has Minnesota covering the spread in 57% of simulations. Bet on Vikings-Saints and more NFL with the FanDuel promo code and get $250 in bonus bets:
Seahawks -3 vs. 49ers
Despite some early injuries, the 49ers have marched to an undefeated record through four games thanks in large part to Brock Purdy. Purdy is completing nearly 70% of his throws, and he has 11 touchdowns to just one interception. On Sunday, he'll face one of the league's best defenses in the Seahawks. Seattle looked shaky at times against the Chargers but ultimately sealed a 30-23 win in Week 4. The SportsLine model sees the Seahawks covering the spread in 54% of simulations.
