Kevin O’Connell vs Arthur Smith
Minnesota Vikings (4-6) currently hold second place in the NFC North, riding on an impressive three-game win streak and currently sitting at 4-4 overall. Unfortunately, their victory against the Green Bay Packers came at a cost as starting quarterback Kirk Cousins sustained a season-ending torn Achilles during Sunday’s match; Jaren Hall took over in his place and should remain as starting quarterback going forward.
Transition Under Center
Jaren Hall’s limited appearance has only seen him amass 23 passing yards while completing three of four passes, indicating the need for the Vikings offensive unit to adjust to changes in its starting lineup. As the Vikings endeavor to solidify their offensive strategy, Alexander Mattison has emerged as their primary rusher, contributing 390 yards in running play for their offense.
Jordan Addison has proven a key figure in the receiving department, racking up 482 yards and seven touchdown receptions – cementing his role as one of the cornerstones of Minnesota’s offensive front. On defense, Camryn Bynum’s remarkable 76 tackles have provided the team with strong defensive fortitude – further enhanced by 23 quarterback sacks and six interceptions showing their resilience when facing ever-evolving challenges.
Atlanta Falcons Search for Consistency
With a 4-4 record and tied for first place with New Orleans in the NFC South despite an upset loss to Tennessee Titans last Sunday, the Atlanta Falcons continue their search for consistency in 2019. the Falcons relied on collective effort during their encounter with the Titans to accumulate 342 yards of total offense while giving up 375. Taylor Heinicke has produced 175 passing yards and one touchdown, which have been supplemented by Bijan Robinson’s noteworthy contributions in rushing with 466 rushing yards and one score.
Drake London has emerged as one of the Falcons’ top receivers, totaling 438 yards and two touchdown catches – cementing his key role in strengthening their offense. On defense, Kaden Elliss has shown unflinching dedication, leading the Falcons with 53 tackles and four interceptions despite challenging competition. Additionally, 15 tackles and four interceptions demonstrate their determined defense approach in the face of daunting adversaries.
NFL Latest Odds: ATL -4 ; O/U 37.5
Since Minnesota and Atlanta will likely utilize their second-string quarterbacks due to the absence of their starting QBs (Kirk Cousins for Minnesota and Desmond Ridder for Atlanta), betting on the under seems prudent due to both teams likely adopting more conservative offensive strategies that may contribute to the low scoring game.
