Hope everything had a Happy Thanksgiving. We built up our bank role going 2-1 with our Thanksgiving special thanks to the Packers and Ravens. Here are some quick picks for Sunday. My favorite plays are the Steelers and Panthers and I’ll throw in mediocre picks on the Falcons and Bengals. The spreads are a bit too high to make those quality plays, so you may want to tease them together instead.
MINNESOTA VIKINGS @ ATLANTA FALCONS (-9.5)
I love taking the Falcons at home. With Adrian Peterson out, the Vikings offense will struggle to get going while the Falcons should cruise to an easy victory. This is also a good candidate to tease with another game such as the Steelers over the Chiefs or Bengals over the Browns.
Prediction: Falcons 27 – Vikings 17
Pick Against the Spread: Falcons -9.5 (Confidence: 3/5)
CLEVELAND BROWNS @ CINCINNATI BENGALS (-7)
I’m loving the Bengals this year. A.J. Green will be back this week. The Bengals beat the Browns earlier this season 27-...

Vikings fail to put together a complete game
The reeling Minnesota Vikings traveled to Atlanta on Sunday to face the Falcons, who have won four of their past five games.
