The Falcons are coming into this game with a 6-7 record this season and they have not been playing well in their recent games. They have lost their last 4 straight games, losing both games since coming out of their bye, and their offense has been awful in these games. They have scored 17 points or less in 3 of their last 4 games and Kirk Cousins has been awful in these games as well, throwing no TD passes in their last 4 straight games and throwing at least 1 INT in each of those games, throwing 8 INTs total in his last 4 games. These games have not been close either as they lost by 4 points to the Chargers when they were missing key pieces on offense as well as losing by 3 points to the Saints who have been awful this year, and 2 of their last 3 losses have also been by 20+ points as well. They also have 6 wins this season, but 5 of those wins were by 6 points or less with their only big win coming by 18 points against the Panthers. The pressure is also on for the Falcons after seeing the Buccaneers destroy the Chargers on Sunday as a loss would now put the Falcons 2 games behind the Buccaneers in the division. Kirk Cousins has not been playing well for this offense recently, but the defense has also been awful as they have allowed 38+ points in 2 of their last 3 games and have been allowing 20+ points in a majority of their games this season. They are going up against a Raiders team that is 2-11 this season but they have been showing some fight in their games and are going to be hungry to bounce back. They have lost their last 9 straight games and 4 of their last 5 losses have been by 10+ points, but they have been showing some fight in these games. They were right in their last game with the Buccaneers, only down 14-10 going into the 4th quarter before letting it go, and their game prior was a 2 point loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City with a wacky ending which the Raiders almost won. The Raiders have been running the ball better with Sincere McCormick and Desmond Ridder was not bad when he came in the game last week, completing 12/18 passes for 101 yards and no INTs. Ridder is also going to get up for this game against the franchise that drafted him and left him for dead, and he has a chance to really ruin the Falcons playoff chances here so the Raiders will rally around that. The Raiders will cover the spread in this game.
