In this article, we'll break down the game from a betting angle, just like always, and hook you up with a winning prediction for this matchup!
Does Kirk Cousins Get Benched for the Falcons?
Kirk Cousins really needs to step up in this game, or it might be the end of his run as the Falcons' starting quarterback. Last time against the Vikings, the Falcons put up 21 points, but the defense let 42 slip by, leading to a loss. Cousins threw 23 of 37 passes for 344 yards, with no touchdowns and two picks.
The Falcons are scoring an average of 21.4 points, while their defense is letting 25.6 points through each game. Offensively, they're ranked 19th in the league, and defensively, they're sitting at 25th. Kyle Pitts also dropped a couple of passes and hasn't really met expectations. The defense hasn't been great either, and they really need to step it up.
Can The Raiders Really Just Keep Losing?
The Raiders just can't catch a break, and honestly, if they're looking for a new quarterback, losing might actually be the best move. In their last game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they took a hit, losing 28-13. Aiden O’Connell got injured, so Desmond Rider stepped in, completing 12 out of 18 passes for 101 yards.
This season, the Raiders are scoring an average of 18.2 points, but their defense is letting in 27.2 points per game. Offensively, they're sitting at 27th in the league, with the defense ranked 30th. Rider is now the starting quarterback, which could be a great step for his NFL journey. They really need to figure out how to get their offense moving in this game.

The Pick: LV Raiders ML +320
There are definitely better games to bet on, but if you're set on this one, there's no way I'm putting money on the Falcons with how Kirk Cousins is playing right now. Never mind all the cash they spent on him this offseason; he shouldn't even be the starting quarterback anymore. Cousins is going to toss a couple of interceptions, and that's going to be the game-changer. The Raiders might not blow them out, but the Falcons lack of scoring is going to let the Raiders take care of business and possibly pull a massive upsetw in this game.
