Meaningful Game #1 Discussion: Atlanta at Minnesota

[widestrides]

Minnesota -3 o/u 44

Both teams need it desperately to stay in the hunt.

Frerotte or T. Jackson at QB? Does it matter? Adrian Peterson and the Viking defense and home dome may be too much for the Falcons. But we've all underestimated rookie Matt Ryan before. The Falcons could pull it off. I would want at least +3.5 though, not just =3 to go with the Falcons.

I have this game handicaped at Vikings -4 a 1 point difference then the bookies. I would lean toward Minnesota this week.
