00:00This is a team in Minnesota that's won five straight, Scotty.

00:06They're narrowly playing close games, right?

00:09They've won those five by an average margin of 6.7 points per game.

00:14But I think if you watch that game, Minnesota and Indianapolis, where they abused Joe Flacco,

00:19this is a carbon copy.

00:21I do not see Kirk Cousins potentially getting out of this with a 400-yard performance and

00:26a win.

00:27I'm laying it with Minnesota.

00:28I think this is one of my better bets for the week.

00:31It's a big number, though.

00:32I had Minnesota this past week against Arizona disappointed.

00:35I thought they would really win easily against Arizona.

00:39You got Kirk Cousins.

00:40It's not a prime-time game, but it's Kirk Cousins in a pressure game, right?

00:45It's him going back to Minnesota.

00:48I equate this to a prime-time pressure game, and that usually means losses for Kirk Cousins.

00:54I tend to agree.

00:56I mean, four interceptions, no matter whose fault it was, that's a lot of interceptions,

01:00right?

01:01And they still had a chance to win the football game, despite the four interceptions when

01:05everything was said and done.

01:06This Falcon team, they're a weird team.

01:09They changed GMs, they changed head coaches, they changed players, quarterbacks, coordinators,

01:16and they're just stuck in mud for some reason, Joe.

01:20There's supposedly talent.

01:22I don't know.

01:24Are these guys just overrated, good enough?

01:26They're like the Jerry Judys of the world.

01:28Good players, but are they really, really great players when everything is said and

01:31done?

01:32No, they're not.

01:33And that's what's costing them.

01:34They're a 500-football team.

01:36I'm not comfortable laying five and a half with this Vikings team, and it's been a lot

01:40of one-score wins for them, but I wouldn't be betting Atlanta on the money line.
