Atlanta Falcons Form

Atlanta go into this Monday night game having now lost four straight outings to fall to 6-7.

The Falcons lost two of their first three games, but kick-started their playoff quest with a run of five wins in six outings between late September and early November.

They beat New Orleans 26-24 in regulation and Tampa Bay 36-30 in overtime at home, before heading to Carolina to down the Panthers 38-20.

Atlanta then bounced back from a 34-14 loss to Seattle with a 31-26 success in Tampa and a 27-21 win over Dallas, but they have not won since.

The Falcons lost back-to-back games on the road, 20-17 in New Orleans and 38-6 in Denver, before returning home to lose 17-13 to the Los Angeles Chargers and 42-21 to Minnesota.

Las Vegas Raiders Form

Las Vegas enter this matchup having now lost nine consecutive games to see their record fall to 2-11.

The Raiders split their first four games of the season, upsetting Baltimore 26-23 on the road along the way, but they have not won since the 20-16 victory over Cleveland on September 29.

Their losing skid started in Denver as they were beaten 34-18, and they then lost 32-13 at home to Pittsburgh and 20-15 at the Los Angeles Rams.

Las Vegas’ skid continued with a 27-20 home loss to Kansas City, and reached six games on the road as they lost 41-24 to Cincinnati and 34-19 at Miami.

The Raiders then lost 29-19 at home to Denver, before seeing their slide reach nine games with road defeats to Kansas City, 19-17, and Tampa Bay, 28-13.

Verdict

Both teams are on a rough run, but Atlanta offer more reasons for optimism.

The Falcons do have the better quarterback and do have a stronger roster, so we are leaning towards the visitors.
