The Minnesota Vikings are 5½-point favorites versus the visiting Atlanta Falcons in the NFL lines with the over-under is set at 46 points.
This is a potential revenge game for Kirk Cousins after the Vikings appeared lukewarm on bringing back the former Pro Bowl quarterback in the offseason. That said, Cousins is on the hot seat in the ATL after throwing six interceptions and no touchdowns over the last three games.

3 Things to Know When Betting Falcons vs Vikings
1. Can Kirk Cousins Stick it to His Former Team in Minnesota?
We are entering the holiday movie SZN and nothing would give us the feels more than Cousins sticking it to his former team. Yes, I was in the stands on Sunday when Cousins made NFL news by throwing it to the other team four times. Let’s just say there were a lot of four-letter words being uttered before Cousins’ name in the ATL.
ESPN’s Mina Kimes & Dan Orlovsky discuss Kirk Cousins and the #Falcons offensive struggles 👀:
Mina: “Watching Kirk, I felt like his physical limitations are holding this offense back. It just doesn’t look right. They drafted Michael Penix Jr. at No. 8 overall. I criticized the… pic.twitter.com/qe8pIreBQF

Yet, we have seen the good from Kirko Chainz. Can Cousins rekindle the magic as he steps back onto familiar turf at U.S. Bank Stadium? Cousins is not expecting a warm welcome from Vikings fans as Minnesota fights for playoff positioning.

2. Falcons Would Host Vikings if Playoffs Started Today
This could be a preview of an NFL playoff matchup. Thanks to playing in a weak NFC South, the Falcons would host the Vikings if the playoffs started today.
The winner of the NFC South is likely to play the second-place team in the strong NFC North. Atlanta has been a disappointing 5-7 against the NFL spread this season, while Minnesota is 7-4-1 ATS.
3. Falcons vs Vikings Pick: Bet Kirko Chainz to Cover ATS
Maybe the move for you is to fade my NFL picks on the Falcons because I have been unable to predict this team with multiple personalities. I just think the Vikings being favored by nearly a touchdown is too many points at the BetUS Sportsbook.
If Cousins does not make it happen against his former team, then it may be time for the Falcons to make a quarterback move. Yet, I do think Cousins is going to end his slump against his former team.
