00:00Mhm. Let's move on to the Atlanta Falcons visiting the Minnesota Vikings. This game

00:08is also important for the NFC playoff picture of the Falcons coming off an ugly, ugly loss.

00:15Obviously Kirk Cousins throwing all the interceptions. Not only is that just a loss, but this is

00:19their third loss in a row. The Vikings are cruising on a five game win streak and we

00:24have Kirk Cousins returning to Minnesota. Obviously the storylines are fantastic. I

00:33gotta say I like Kirk Cousins in this game. I do. And maybe it's just the storyline. Maybe

00:36it's just the necessity for the Falcons to bounce back. But 248, like it is a relatively

00:45modest number in today's NFL. Now, I haven't seen the interception props posted, but will

00:50I be willing to take a Kirk Cousins interception prop back in Minnesota? Sure. I could certainly

00:56go there, but I think over 248 is probably the best spot to go. And frankly, when it

01:00comes to the receiving, it's tough to go to some of these players on the Falcon side of

01:07things with any level of consistency outside of Drake London and Darnell Mooney. I want

01:12to believe in Kyle Pitts. I want to believe in the overall skill set that he has, but

01:16he's the inconsistency we find from him on a week in week out basis is just far too much.

01:21So I think Drake London and Darnell Mooney are the right place when it comes to the offense.

01:26But if you want to throw in Bijan Robinson over 28 and a half, because you think the

01:29pressure that we know that Brian Flores, the DC for the Vikings can bring that is totally

01:34on the table. We know that the Vikings love the blitz and it's especially with the lack

01:39of mobility that Kirk Cousins has, especially this season, him getting the ball out early

01:43and often to someone like Robinson and him picking up yards after the cats or setting

01:47up screenplays, whatever it might be. I think that is also one of my favorites when it comes

01:51to the Falcons. I don't want to say receiving room, but just the Falcons receiving props.

01:56So Robinson over 28 and a half, and I do kind of lean on the over four Cousins as well.
