The Sunday night lights shine on two teams trying to climb up the NFC ladder.
The Minnesota Vikings have a quick turnaround to host the Atlanta Falcons after a thrilling comeback win on Monday. Atlanta, on the other hand, is desperate not to fall into a 0-2 hole to start 2025.
I have a Falcons vs. Vikings same game parlay for this prime-time pairing, keying in on one of the best receivers in the game.

Our best Falcons vs Vikings SGP for Week 2
Justin Jefferson caught only four of the seven passes his way on Monday, due to J.J. McCarthy’s opening night jitters and a slippery surface at Soldier Field in Chicago.
Now back home, J.J. is ready to do some damage. Projections are calling for close to seven grabs for No. 18.
Jefferson scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter comeback for the Minnesota Vikings on Monday and has recorded four touchdowns in his last two meetings against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons just allowed three passing touchdowns to Tampa Bay in Week 1.
We might as well go “all in” on Jefferson at this point. He’s one of the best WRs at finding holes in zone coverage, and the Falcons' defense almost runs zone exclusively.
Jefferson has amassed almost 300 total yards in the past two games with the Falcons, and some projections call for closer to 90 yards on SNF.
You would think after all this hype around Jefferson I’d be leaning toward Minnesota, but it isn’t the case.
The Vikings are on a short week with notable injuries on both sides of the ball. I was really impressed with Michael Penix Jr. in Week 1, and I bet Atlanta and the points earlier in the week. Even with the line dropping to +3.5, I’m siding with the ATL.
