For the second consecutive game this postseason, the Minnesota Vikings will be at least a touchdown underdog.
The opening line for next Saturday’s NFC divisional round game between the 49ers and sixth-seeded Vikings has San Francisco as a seven-point favorite.
The Vikings were eight-point underdogs against the New Orleans Saints, where tight end Kyle Rudolph caught a game-winning touchdown pass in overtime to set up a matchup at Levi’s Stadium with the top-seeded 49ers.

Despite the surprising result in New Orleans on Sunday, the oddsmakers aren’t ready to say Minnesota is on par with the top of the NFC.
