Prediction

I found it pretty easy to make this week’s prediction, simply because I can’t see a Mike Zimmer-led team laying an egg two weeks in a row. In a game they really need for playoff implications, Zimmer will have his team ready to play.

Vikings 27, Falcons 19

Next: Establishing the run important for Vikings

Julio Jones will be contained, not totally stopped, and the Vikings will be able to move the ball enough offensively to put up points against the Falcons. With this win, the Vikings move to 8-3 and will lead the NFC North by a full game.
