If there is one thing that every team in the NFL has in common, it is that they have to deal with injuries on a weekly basis. MyBookie Sportsbook NFL Odds, American Football NFL Lines | Minnesota Vikings vs Atlanta Falcons

Every season, though, we seem to have one or two teams that get hammered with the injury bug that has the potential to totally derail a season. The Minnesota Vikings look to be that team this season, so we will talk about their injury concerns a little later in this piece. This weekend, the Vikings are on the road to face an Atlanta Falcons team that is very much in the hunt for a division title in an admittedly weak division. They will be looking to take advantage of the injury struck Vikings, and the bookies like their chances, installing them as a 5-point home favorite. The point total for this one has been set at 37,5.

Why bet on the Minnesota Vikings

With Kirk Cousins out for the year through injury, the Vikings were forced to make a move to land veteran QB Joshua Dobbs to fill in, although asking him to be ready to play this week seems like a bit of a stretch. With that in mind, the Vikings will likely hand the ball to Jaren Hall this weekend and hope for the best. Despite all of this, Minnesota is still coming into this week sitting at .500, although how long they can stay there given those injuries remains to be seen. The Vikings have won 4 of their last 5 games overall, as well as 4 of their last 5 versus the Falcons. While they are 4-0-1 ATS versus conference opponents, they are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games versus teams from the South. The UNDER has hit in 8 of their last 9 visits to the ATL.

Why bet on the Atlanta Falcons

While injuries aren’t the issue in Atlanta, the Falcons are still having issues at the QB slot. Desmond Ridder will be benched this weekend in favor of Taylor Heinicke in what many seem to view as a bit of a lateral move as opposed to an upgrade, but that does remain to be seen. The Falcons are also at 4-4 on the season, which is good enough to have them on top of the NFC South, a division that no one really seems to want to win at this point. They are, though, just 2-4 SU in their last 6 games after a fast start, but they have been very solid in their own building, winning 6 of their last 7 games at home. On the negative side of things, the Falcons are a paltry 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games versus teams from the North, as well as just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 overall. The UNDER has hit in 5 of their last 6 games.

Vikings vs Falcons Expert Pick and Series Prediction

If you are a fan of wide-open offensive football, this may not be the game for you, as I believe that scoring is going to be at a premium in this one. I am leaning toward the Under here, with Atlanta winning a close one.
