Falcons vs. Vikings Player Prop Picks & Touchdown Prediction
After matching a career high with four interceptions last week, Kirk Cousins hopes to bounce back with a big performance Sunday in his return to Minnesota when his Atlanta Falcons square off against the Vikings.
With Cousins and the Falcons opening as 4.5-point road underdogs against the Vikings (1 p.m. ET, FOX), the Over on the quarterback’s passing yards promises to be one of the most popular Falcons vs. Vikings player prop picks in Week 14.
We like Cousins to put up big numbers as well, but we’re targeting two other Falcons to do damage in the passing game.

Since coming back from a serious knee injury that sidelined him for nearly a calendar year, Hockenson has yet to find the end zone in five games this season.
However, it feels like it’s just a matter of time. He’s drawn 15 targets over the last two weeks and six-plus in three of Minnesota’s last four, averaging more than 50 receiving yards per game in that span.
Atlanta’s defense ranks in the middle of the pack against opposing tight ends, but the Falcons did allow two touchdowns to Cade Otton in Week 8 and another against the Denver Broncos in Week 11.
Their duo of Pro Bowl safeties Jessie Bates and Justin Simmons will also be focused on shutting down Justin Jefferson, which should create space in the middle of the field for Hockenson to deliver.

If Cousins is going to put up big numbers in his return to Minnesota, there’s a good chance London plays a leading role. The third-year receiver has been a model of consistency throughout his young career, hauling in nine balls last week to become the first-ever Falcon to record 65-plus catches in each of his first three seasons.
Meanwhile, the Vikings have been vulnerable to opposing wideouts all season, allowing 230 or more receiving yards to the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans.
Despite Cousins’ recent struggles, don’t forget that Atlanta still owns the fifth-best passing attack in the NFL.
Most of the best sports betting sites set London’s Over/Under receiving yards in the 70s, but BetMGM still had London’s total at 68.5 as of Thursday night.
Bijan Robinson Over 28.5 receiving yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Best odds: -114 via Caesars | Implied probability: 53.3%
Whether it’s on the ground or through the air, the Falcons love to keep Robinson involved. He had 102 rushing yards last week on a career-high 26 attempts and added 33 yards receiving, his eighth game this season with more than 100 yards from scrimmage.
Running the ball isn’t likely to be productive against a Minnesota front that already held seven opponents to 52 rushing yards or fewer, and there’s also a strong chance Atlanta finds itself playing from behind in the second half. Robinson has notched 28 receiving yards or more in six straight games.
