Falcons vs Raiders Predictions: Atlanta to snap losing streak

Despite losing four games in a row, Atlanta Falcons still have a chance of winning the NFC South, but if they are to do so they will need to stop the slide against a Las Vegas Raiders team that have lost nine in a row in the early hours of Tuesday morning (01:30, live on Sky Sports).

Read on for my Falcons vs Raiders predictions, including the latest outright odds and team news.

Falcons vs Raiders Odds

The Falcons are 2/5 on the moneyline, while the Las Vegas Raiders are 2/1 outsiders.

The Falcons are 10/11 to overcome a 5.5 point deficit on the spread, while the Raiders are 10/11 with the same point head start.

Under 44.5 points is priced up at 20/23, with the over available at 20/21.

Team News

Key defensive player Maxx Crosby is out for the Las Vegas Raiders with an ankle injury, while quarterback Aidan O’Connell did not practice this week and is listed as questionable after struggling with a knee issue.

Adam Butler and Sam Webb are also doubts for the Raiders but cornerback Nate Hobbs has recovered and is available for the first time in four weeks.

Linebacker Troy Andersen and wide receiver Casey Washington will both miss out for the Atlanta Falcons while rookie Ruke Orhorhoro is questionable.

Falcons -5.5 @ 10/11

The Atlanta Falcons have disappointed recently and come into this clash against the Las Vegas Raiders on the back of a four-game losing streak.

However, they have found the ideal bounce-back spot against one of the worst teams in the NFL this season.

Las Vegas are 2-11 and their 361 points allowed ranked 30th out of 32 in the NFL this season coming into this week’s games.

They will also be without star defensive end Maxx Crosby and quarterback Aidan O’Connell is a doubt.

The Raiders also have the fewest rushing yards in the NFL and have given up the most turnovers.

Las Vegas are bad on both sides of the ball and without their key defensive talisman they look vulnerable. Side with the Falcons on the spread.

Drake London - Anytime Touchdown Scorer @ 13/10

Drake London has had an eye-catching season for the Falcons, with a career-high 75 receptions already, as well as six receiving touchdowns.

With Kirk Cousins struggling recently, he is likely to turn to London as his most dangerous outlet and the 23-year-old is fancied to have another touchdown grab against a poor Las Vegas defense.
