Why are the Vikings +1.5 against the Falcons Sunday?

[Goat Milk]

Maybe I am missing something. Freeman is out. Coleman is solid but slightly worse pass catcher. Zimmer should be able to limit Julio to about 100 yards. I don't see anyway that the Falcons are going to stop Adrian Peterson. Peterson is bigger than the linebackers on the Falcons. He won't even need to run by them, he will run right through them. Diggs and others should be solid in the dome. I think Minnesota will pull out this win. Matt Ryan is an awful quarterback that can't go through his progressions. He locks on one wr and stares him down the whole way. This is feeling like a 150 yard 2 td game from AP honestly. ATL just sucks. They lost to the 49ers with Gabbert starting and a bunch of cornerbacks off the 49ers practice squad recently signed. He couldn't even deceive those guys, I wonder how he'll do against Mike Zimmer's defense.

Probably same reason people were questioning the Packer line last week..

Minny isn't as good as their record IMO..

I was on GB last week and I will be on the Falcons this week

I give up trying to understand lines,Cowboys being favoured yesterday made absolutely no sense,probably why so many people jumped on the Cowboys thinking it was an obvious trap game.

Atlanta is a soft team.

It will take 3 of them to bring down adrian peterson on sunday.... I wouldn't be surprised if this guy got like 30 carries sunday. game just seems like a mismatch. not the type of physical team a soft pussy atlanta team wants to play.

Minnesota hasn't beaten a team over .500.

Very soft team. They have regressed in the last month.

Every single team they've beat is better than the falcons. That's a fact. Falcons are soft. You'll see. They'll be scared to tackle Peterson sunday. Guy will be running at them like a train. Only falcons player I respect is Julio Jones. He runs hard and is physical. Everyone else on that team folds up shop when things get tough.

Hopefully game ends in a tie

[Booya711]

Falcons cover

[Goat Milk]

Hopefully game ends in a tie

Take minny ml, don't question it, just do it and thank me later

[pavyracer]

What is the line supposed to be? Vikings -7?

What is the line supposed to be? Vikings -7?

Opening line should have been Vikings -3 imo.

After freeman announced out Vikings -4.

But Vikings should win this game like 28 17

[t-wizzle]

Vikings offense isn't good and they're playing in a hostile environment. Pretty simple.

I'm not touching this game. Good luck.

[Booya711]

I think Falcons cover easy

No, that's an opinion.

And that's a fact.

Not touching this game, its a coin toss. It Atlanta can stop turning the ball over at critical times I think they win by a touchdown. If they continue to cough up the ball, Minn will win by choking the clock.

[POOLSIDE]

You think Minnesota should be -9 at home?

[BuckyOne]

I think it is a drop dead over!

[seaborneq]

Vikings and under should be the plays. I get to watch the Falcons EVERY week, don't let the record fool you. They are no better than they were under Mike Smith..............only more disciplined. A bad team with Julio Jones on it.

[daneblazer]

Vikings played their worst game of the year since week 2 last week. Take that for what it's worth

[OTL]

Charmin soft.

The thing with the Falcons is they keep on committing turnovers at critical times which end up costing them everything. They outplayed Indy for like 90% of the game then Ryan throws the pick-6. I don't get how they have become so snakebitten.

[aston]

vikings will win this game....even at home the falcons are overrated!! If tampa can beat the falcons at home imagine the hurt the vikings will give the birds

[jjgold]

all over Atlanta here

Minny shot their load

[RavensFan2k3]

I think Falcons cover easy

I agree

[JayDr3am]

falcons need a bounce back.. but I don't think it will be here..

[aston]

Mr. Jjgold....no way falcons win this game

[LeagueCapper]

Opening line should have been Vikings -3 imo.

After freeman announced out Vikings -4.

Hard to take anyone seriously with posts like these. -3/-4 on road equals to -9/-10 at home. You know this is Minnesota we are talking about right not the Patriots. C'mon man, -9/-10 equivalent? The Vikings?

[JayDr3am]

What is the line supposed to be? Vikings -7?

atleast 4 or 5.

really?? christ bridgewater looked fantastic last week and everyone was saying how shit he is/has been....peterson didnt show up and teddy picked up the slack, the vikes are a good team and if norv turner sorted shit out they could be great....its norv that has held this team back offensivly imo.....

agreed 1000% with goat vikes win this easy....

[adila1401]

Falcons have #1 Rush Defense in NFL. I think they get back to winning games, starting with this one here.

[VegasPlayer]

Atl Kicker is out - Quad

[daneblazer]

I've watch Atlanta a bit and think Ryan is hurt. Without Freeman it's all Julio. The rest of the offense is on a milk carton

[pavyracer]

Falcons are due for a win. I was at an event last night in Atlanta and one of my waiter friends overheard Arthur Blank say that coach is playing for his job tomorrow. Must win game for Falcons.
