10/18/20 Best Bet: Back to handicapping 101 - if the coach is fired, play ON the team next week. It worked last week, it might work again. Beyond that, I think the Falcons are about on par with the Vikings. Yes, the records don’t show that but honestly, the performance isn’t too dissimilar. No, seriously, check the stats. Both teams put up just about the same number of yards against the Seahawks. Both teams have been competitive in almost all of their games. I just think that with the hook, I have to play the Falcons here. And I will! I also think that the Falcons getting Julio Jones back will be a major boost to their offense. Atlanta will most certainly play looser with Dan Quinn out of the building. Don’t get me wrong, I HATE fading Zimmer off a tough loss but with the +3.5, the Vikings can still win and I can win my bet. Dirty Birds!!
