Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings Preview & Picks
Minnesota are tipped to cover the spread as they beat Atlanta.

- Minnesota Vikings are 4-2-0 ATS in their 6 home games
- Atlanta Falcons are 0-3-0 ATS in their last 3 games
- The Under has cashed in 4 of Minnesota’s last 5 games
Head To Head
- Minnesota Vikings lead the all-time series 21-12
- Minnesota Vikings won 31-28 when the two teams last met in November 2023
Atlanta Falcons Form
Atlanta head to Minnesota looking to snap a three-game losing sequence that has dropped them to 6-6.
The Falcons lost two of their first three games, but appeared to kick-start their playoff quest with three consecutive wins in response.
They beat New Orleans 26-24 and Tampa Bay 36-30 in overtime at home, before heading out on the road to down Carolina 38-20.
Atlanta then rebounded from a 34-14 defeat to Seattle with 31-26 victory at Tampa Bay and a 27-21 win over Dallas, but they have not won since.
The Falcons went out on the road to lose 20-17 in New Orleans and 38-6 at Denver, before returning home for a 17-13 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers.
Minnesota Vikings Form
Minnesota go into Sunday’s game looking to extend a five-game win streak that has improved their record to 10-2.
The Vikings raced out of the blocks with five consecutive wins, only to wobble in the second half of October with back-to-back defeats.
They dropped a big division game at home, losing 31-29 to Detroit, before heading to Los Angeles for a 30-20 defeat to the Rams.
Minnesota have responded strongly though, sparking this five-game surge with a 21-13 victory when they hosted Indianapolis.
The Vikings then won three straight on the road, beating Jacksonville 12-7, Tennessee 23-13 and Chicago 30-27 in overtime, before returning home to down Arizona, 23-22.
Verdict
Kirk Cousins is having a nightmare run and that spells trouble against this Minnesota defense.
Brian Flores’ group can force Cousins into costly errors to ensure the Vikings not only win the game, but cover the spread too.
