Two NFC powers will gather for a pivotal NFC South versus NFC North battle with playoff positioning implications on the table. The Minnesota Vikings (8-2) will travel to the Peach State to face off with the Atlanta Falcons (7-4) at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia on Sunday, December 3rd, 2017. The kick-off time is 1:00 PM ET and will come just a day after the SEC Championship is settled in the aforementioned venue. The contest will be televised across on FOX for regional audiences. As a whole, this has been a well-balanced interconference clash. Each team has won three of the previous six contests overall. The last meeting took place in 2015 in the cold tundra of Minneapolis in November. The Vikings would come out on top 20-10.
Both teams enter into this contest on winning streaks. For Minnesota, the surge has now reached seven games as the Detroit Lions were the Vikings’ latest victim on Thanksgiving Day. Such results have only inflated the stock of this team to perhaps the highest currently in the NFL. Minnesota is 6-0 ATS in their current win streak. For Atlanta, the Falcons come in now on a three-game winning streak capped off by a most recent victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, last Sunday. Atlanta has gone 3-0 ATS over this span.

Public Money Consensus
Out of the gate, the Vikings have been getting a lot of love. 83% of the cash and 74% of the tickets have been invested with the Vikings. Nevertheless, this market opened half of a point lower with extra juice required at -115 on Atlanta. Regardless, the market moved to its current position where the Dirty Birds are spotting three points with no juice required. The move is to entice action on Atlanta given all the affection Minnesota has received. Currently in Over/Under markets, the number has dropped by just half of a point from the open to its current position to indicate investments on the Under. However, 98% of the cash and 95% of the ticket action is on the Over.
