NFL Week 15 features a Monday Night Football doubleheader featuring the Atlanta Falcons visiting the Las Vegas Raiders. Kirk Cousins has been a shell of himself and has not had a passing touchdown in the last four games. Can he break the streak tonight? Below are the Falcons at Raiders Preview and Predictions.
The Falcons come into this game healthy but will be missing inside linebacker Troy Anderson and wide receiver Casey Washington who is dealing with a concussion. On the otherside, the Raiders will be without Maxx Crosby in this game who is dealing with an ankle injury. It seems more than likely that Desmond Ridder will get the start in this game against his former team. A revenge angle?
Falcons at Raiders Preview and Predictions
Best Bets
The biggest question in this game will be the status of Aidan O’Connell. It seems more than likely that Desmond Ridder will get the start against his former team, the Atlanta Falcons. Despite struggling at home, the Raiders have been respectable at home posting a record of 10-9-1 ATS since the 2022 season.
A team who has struggled on the road over the past several season, the Falcons. In fact, since the 2022 season, the Falcons are 6-16 SU and 9-13 ATS. Additionally, the Falcons, have lost and failed to cover their last three road games. The question becomes which quarterback do you trust more in this spot? Cousins has struggled over the last four games where he hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass and has eight interceptions.
Best Bet: Raiders +6
Player Prop Best Bet
Kyle Pitts Over 29.5 Receiving yards
I know, Kyle Pitts has struggled to produce anything for the offense over the last three games. However, it’s pretty glaring on how terrible the Raiders defense has been against the tight end position. The Raiders have allowed an opposing tight end to have 60+ receiving yards in five out of the last six games. Furthermore, the Raiders defense has allowed a 90+ receiving yard tight end in three out of the last six weeks. I like Pitts in a sneaky opportunity this week.
