Lean – ATLANTA (-3) over Minnesota

The Falcons combined for 95 points on 6.1 yards per play over the last 3 weeks but they certainly benefitted from their opponent’s defensive injuries. The Cowboys were without Sean Lee, the Seahawks were without Kam Chancellor and Richard Sherman, and the Buccaneers were without Robert Ayers and Vernon Hargreaves. Minnesota’s defense, allowing just 4.8 yards per play (2nd), will be a much tougher test.

Falcons cornerbacks Desmond Trufant and Brian Poole were both injured in last week’s game and are listed as questionable. Atlanta will need both cornerbacks healthy against Minnesota’s receiving tandem of Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, each ranking top 10 in yards per route run this season.

If Atlanta’s cornerbacks both play then I’d lean with the Falcons, who apply to a 154-74-3 ATS angle that plays on good offensive teams at home against elite defensive teams.
