Prediction
Both teams are struggling, but at least Atlanta still has a shot at the playoffs. The Raiders have lost nine straight and have the worst record in the AFC. This is not going to be a pretty game, but the Falcons are certainly the better team. The Raiders are 1-4 at home and are averaging just 18.2 points a game. As bad as Kirk Cousins has been lately, I still trust him over Desmond Ridder.
Pick: Falcons -5.5
