The team from Atlanta is hoping they could get their first win of the season in the Falcons at Vikings game. So far, they have nothing but defeats, mostly due to their terrible defending. With 161 points conceded, they share the spot for the worst defense in the NFL with the Jets. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they’re traveling to Minnesota this weekend to take on the Vikings who have only started improving their form.

Falcons Still Hunting For a Prey
The Atlanta Falcons have lost five out of five games they played in the 2020 NFL. They lost to the Seahawks in the first week, followed by a defeat to the Cowboys. Then, they lost to the Bears, Green Bay Packers, and most recently, the Carolina Panthers.
The last weekend’s game against the Panthers was the only game in which they conceded fewer than 30 points. This team has the worst defense in the conference, and are in strong competition for the worst defense in the league.
What’s really got to worry them is that it seems that the worst is yet to come. They got to face some really tough teams before the end of the regular season, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (two times), New Orleans Saints (two times), and Kansas City Chiefs. This practically means that their best shot of winning a game (and maybe getting into a good run) is against the Vikings.
Vikings Seem to Be Improving
Although they have won only one game this season, it happened relatively recently. Two weeks ago, they beat the Texans, in a game in which they were 4-point underdogs. The Vikings did lose their most recent game, but they shouldn’t be embarrassed with their performance in that clash.
The game in question is the 27-26 defeat to the Seahawks, the team with all wins so far. And before their win over the Texans, the Vikings lost to the Titans with a single point difference. The score in that game was 31-30.
Falcons at Vikings Betting Prediction
Although neither team has the Super Bowl quality, the fact is that the Vikings are the better team than the Falcons. Even if their form was worse, they’d still have a pretty good chance against one of the worst teams in the league. Sure, the Falcons are going to be super-motivated to win this, but so will the Vikings. It’s not going to be easy, but we should see the team from Minnesota celebrating after the game.
