Atlanta Falcons at Las Vegas Raiders Preview:
The 6-7 Atlanta Falcons look to snap their four-game losing streak when they head to Las Vegas to take on the 2-11 Raiders.
The season for the Falcons got off to a hot start. They were 6-3 and had a comfortable lead in the NFC South. Now, they find themselves one game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on this skid.
Kirk Cousins’s Minnesota homecoming was spoiled last weekend when they lost to the Vikings. They were outscored 21-0 in the fourth quarter, and Cousins was not good. He threw two interceptions and did not throw a touchdown pass. He has yet to throw a touchdown during their four-game losing streak. He’s also thrown eight interceptions in that time.
He now gets a head-to-head match against former Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets:
NBC Sports analyst Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) recommends betting on Bijan Robinson over 80.5 rushing yards…
Thomas: “Las Vegas’ rush defense isn’t bad. They are only giving up 117.6 rushing yards per game. However, given the lack of success Cousins is having through the air, the Falcons have no other reason but to lean on Robinson. In back-to-back games, he’s run the ball over 20 times. It’s clear they plan to pound the rock with Robinson. Being a 4-point favorite and the team likely to win, I like Robinson to go off on Monday.”
