Falcons vs Vikings 2025 Preview & Predictions
Sportsbooks list the Vikings as about 3 point favorites with the total points line near 44.5.
Atlanta gets receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney back from shoulder injuries. Kicker Younghoe Koo stays home with a groin injury so Parker Romo will handle kicks. Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will look for big plays and must avoid turnovers.
Minnesota faces its own injury concerns. Linebacker Blake Cashman and running back Ty Chandler are out. Several defensive starters including Harrison Smith and Andrew Van Ginkel are listed as doubtful.
Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy impressed in Week 1 and will rely on Justin Jefferson to stretch the Falcons secondary.
Prediction: Vikings 27 Falcons 21
Minnesota holds the home field advantage and enough offensive firepower to stay in control. Atlanta can keep it close if Penix connects with his top receivers but the Vikings balanced attack should be the difference in the final quarter.
