The line on the 49ers-Vikings game for Week 1 was Minnesota -5.5 at most books Mid-August.
The line on this game has moved up a point to -5.5, which does make sense as the 49ers were among the teams with the shortest odds to win the 2019 Super Bowl. What happened?
For one, the defense didn't look entirely impressive in their preseason game. Second, the 49ers lost a good deal of their luster following the NFL Draft.
It was something about the 49ers training camp that drove oddsmakers to move this Week 1 line from -4.5 to -5.5, however, as this move didn't come until late July.
Some of the books, like Westgate, have held onto the -5.
Minnesota, on the other hand, had the 3rd shortest odds (10/1) of winning Super Bowl 53 only after last season's Conference champs, the Patriots (71/) and Eagles (8/1). The LA Rams also had 10/1 odds of winning the Super Bowl.
