*10* SIDE OF THE WEEK on Atlanta Falcons.
The 6-4 Atlanta Falcons will host the 7-3 Minnesota Vikings this week, and both teams are coming off a loss. The Falcons were a little unlucky in their loss, while the Vikes just played really poorly. Minnesota appears to be overrated heading into this one, and I like Atlanta as a small favorite at home in the dome.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Quarterbacks - The Falcons have a huge edge with Matty Ice, who threw for 280 yards and three TDs last week. Granted he has thrown a lot of INTs lately, but you have to take the good with the bad. For Teddy Bridgewater, there just isn't enough good to go around. He only has eight TDs in his 10 starts so far this season, and he's failed to throw for 200 yards in half of those games.
2. Atlanta Defense - The Falcons lead the league in run defense, allowing opponents to average an NFL low 87 rushing yards per game. If Adrian Peterson has a quiet game, the Vikes will be in trouble.
3. X-Factor - Julio Jones might be the best receiver in the league when healthy, and he appears to be healthy coming into this game. He had nine catches for 160 yards against Indy last week.
Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Falcons (10*)
