The 49ers (5-1), fresh off their first defeat of the year and the first regular-season loss of Brock Purdy’s career, are looking to get back in the win column Monday in Minnesota. The Vikings (2–4) will be without their best player against perhaps the NFL’s best team and the spread reflects that disadvantage.
San Francisco is a 6.5-point road favorite on Monday Night Football at U.S. Bank Stadium. The over/under is set at 43.5 points.

We look at some unanswered questions, theories and speculation about the still fluid NCAA investigation into Michigan football over scouting and sign-stealing concerns.

The 28-year-old Hossler took the lead Friday at the ZOZO Championship, where gale force winds produced brutal conditions.
Friday at the ZOZO Championship proved to challenge some of the world’s best players, as gale-force winds swirled all day at Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club in Chiba, Japan.
Some gusts reached 40 miles per hour, but most often, the wind blew at a sustained 20 to 30 mph.
Deshaun Watson seems on course to return to the Cleveland Browns lineup, perhaps as soon as Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. But for now the club is waiting to see what the next 48 hours bring before making a commitment to that return.
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters on Friday that Watson “looked good today” and he threw passes more than 30 yards down the field without issue.
“I thought he looked good,” Stefanski repeated.
Watson is listed as questionable in the Browns injury report.
Weeks after being fired as manager of the Giants, Gabe Kapler has reportedly interviewed for a job with another team—but not to become a skipper again.
Kapler has interviewed with the Red Sox for the opening at the top of their baseball operations department, the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier reported Friday. Boston is seeking to replace former president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom, who was fired last month after the team missed the playoffs for the second consecutive season.
Happy Friday, NFL. College football is embroiled in a cheating scandal that makes Spygate look as innocent as a game of Stratego, and while that may seem like the ideal time to kick your feet back and laugh about what color ties university presidents will wear to their congressional hearings, it should be a call to action. Namely, a reminder to take a stroll through your own internal intelligence to make sure your closets are clean.
Week 7 is here with a balanced slate: 6 early games, 4 late plus SNF, which features an Eagles offense still preparing to take flight trading shots with the Dolphins’ speed attack.
Everyone inside the Superdome in New Orleans and every fan watching the game at home realized Christian Kirk scored for the Jacksonville Jaguars with just over three minutes left in regulation on Thursday night to break a 24-24 tie.
Al Michaels seemed to be the only person watching the game to miss what stood as the game-winning touchdown, which is a less-than-ideal situation for the lead analyst on the call.
During the play, Kirk was running down the sideline but never got that close to stepping out of bounds.
Alex Rodriguez wants his number retired at Yankee Stadium.
The former slugger wore No. 13 for the New York Yankees from 2004-2016. And no one wore it in the seasons following A-Rod’s retirement. That is, until the Yanks acquired Joey Gallo in 2021.
“It did not make me happy,” Rodriguez told Evan and Tiki on WFAN.
Gallo came to New York in a trade from the Texas Rangers, where he wore No. 13. But he turned out to be a huge bust. In 140 games with the Yankees, Gallo hit .159 with 194 strikeouts and only 25 home runs.
Big-money QB Derek Carr looks ineffective. Depth is gone. And New Orleans is projected to be $72 million over the 2024 salary cap. Get used to the Saints as they’ve looked this season.
