Why Atlanta Falcons Will Win
So what’s going right in this 0-5 season?
The Falcons aren’t turning the ball over all that much with just four so far, and the running game perked up in the loss to Carolina.

Why Minnesota Vikings Will Win

What’s Going To Happen
Can Minnesota get over the gut punch of the loss to the Seahawks? It’s going to get the job done on third downs to get Matt Ryan and company off the field, the time of possession battle will be dominant, and the Vikings will get the payoff they should’ve had last week.
