The Atlanta Falcons visit the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The pregame narrative: The Vikings are rolling right now, but I’m confident in Atlanta covering an alternate spread. I also like prop picks on Kirk Cousins and Jordan Addison to make up a +310 wager.
Check out my Falcons vs. Vikings same-game parlay predictions for Week 14 below.

Parlay: Falcons +9.5 + Cousins over 239.5 passing yards + Addison over 44.5 recieving yards (+310)
Falcons +9.5 (-180): Minnesota’s active five-game winning streak hasn’t featured many dominant wins.
- Week 9: 21-13 win vs. Colts
- Week 10: 12-7 win vs. Jaguars
- Week 11: 23-13 win vs. Titans
- Week 12: 30-27 win vs. Bears
- Week 13: 23-22 win vs. Cardinals
Meanwhile, the Falcons come in as the losers of three straight. But they’ve covered this number in 10 of 12 games, including an ugly 17-13 loss against the reputable Los Angeles Chargers last week.
Atlanta should look to attack Minnesota’s passing defence. The Vikings allow the fifth-most passing yards per game (243.3).
That stat should be circled in bold red marker as Atlanta prepares for this matchup. The Falcons pass for the fifth-most yards per game (242.8).
If Atlanta can gain chunk yardage through the air, the team should be able to keep pace.
Other parlay picks
Cousins over 239.5 passing yards (-136): Cousins is not going to be benched after his no-touchdown, four-interception performance against the Chargers last week.
And despite all those turnovers, he still managed to surpass this mark with 245 yards against the Chargers.
The veteran quarterback dealt with arm injuries entering Week 11. He looked fairly healthy coming off the bye last week but made some admittedly costly errors.
Minnesota allows the fewest rushing yards per game (81.3), so Cousins may need to take more shots through the air.
On the season, he’s averaging 254.3 passing yards and has a solid, exploitable matchup in a revenge game scenario.
Addison over 44.5 receiving yards (-150): Minnesota’s No. 2 receiver is coming alive in the second half of the season.
Addison has cleared this line in three straight games, which includes putting up a career-high 162 yards against the Bears two weeks ago.
Most probably assumed the return of tight end T.J. Hockenson last month would harm Addison’s production, but Hockenson needs extra attention underneath. That leaves more open space downfield for Addison.
Atlanta has a below-average pass defence (221.7 yards against per game), and this is a relatively modest line for Addison to clear.
