Vikings Vs. Falcons: Roddy White Shines As Atlanta Wins 24-14

On the kick off return, Harvin took the kick near the back of the end zone and looked to be heading for his second touchdown of the game. But Owens stuck with the play and made the tackle. The Vikings were then unable to get the ball in the end zone, although Harvin did appear to cross the goal line on one play but had been judged to have had his forward progress stopped.

Just for good measure, Allen even made the tackle on the play. Granted, it was at the end of a 42-yard return, but still.

Neither of these teams have been particularly good against the spread (both are 4-5-1), with the Vikings going 2-3-1 on the road ATS and the Falcons going 2-2 at home ATS. It’s not much better when looking at the over/under which is right around 44.5 right now. Neither team has predictably hit the over with both doing it about half the time.
