#454 ASA FREE PLAY ON Atlanta Falcons -3.5 over Minnesota Vikings, Sunday at 1 PM ET - You can throw the Vikings offensive season statistics out the window now that QB Cousins is out for the season and WR Jefferson is on the shelf for a few more weeks. To put this into perspective. Cousins is 2nd in the league in passing yards ahead of the likes of Mahomes, Goff and Allen. He had 18 TD’s to 5 INT’s and completed 63.5% of his passes. He’s gone now and Jaren Hall will be his replacement. Hall is a rookie that was drafted in the 5th round making his first start on the road against a solid Falcons defense. Not to mention Hall/Vikings don’t have a running game to rely on to relieve the pressure on this young QB. The Vikings are 31st in rushing yards per game, 31st in rushing attempts and average just 3.6 yards per rush which is 29th. Hall will face a Falcons defense that allows the 8th fewest passing yards per game and is 10th in opposing QB’s completion percentage. Atlanta is making a change at quarterback with veteran Taylor Heinike taking over for the turnover prone Desmond Ridder who has 6 INT’s and 4 fumbles this season. Heinicke has 34 careers starts and even started a full season for the Commanders. Unlike the Vikings/Hall, Heinicke doesn’t have to carry the load either as he has a Falcons rushing attack that is 10th in the league in rushing yards per game at 126. With the Vikings injuries we have no problem laying the points with the Falcons here.
