1. Vikings will finally win at home

In past years, Minnesota has been one of the top teams on its home field at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. So far in 2020, however, that surprisingly hasn’t been the case for Mike Zimmer and company on their home turf.

In two games leading into the Week 6 contest, the Vikings are 0-2 at home this season, having lost to the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans in Minnesota, two teams who are currently undefeated.

This weekend against Atlanta, Minnesota will be able to bounce back and finally crack into the win column at home, while avoiding falling for the second straight time in as many weeks.

The Falcons are a team you can never overlook, no matter how much they might be struggling to begin the new year. With the talent on offense along, regardless of the performance on defense, Atlanta can take things out of reach very quickly while forcing you to play catch-up for the rest of a game.

On Sunday afternoon at US Bank Stadium, the distractions surrounding the Falcons will be just too much for them to try and overcome to be able to win on the road and the Vikings will be able to take advantage of that to grab their second win of the 2020 campaign.

Minnesota being able to get a win in Week 6 would be much-needed and could be a nice boost for the team moving into its bye week in Week 7 while preparing to get out of an early-season hole that it is currently in for the rest of the regular season.
