Falcons vs Raiders Odds & Picks Week 15: Battle Of Bad Teams

We've got ourselves a Disaster Bowl for Monday Night Football. The Falcons and Raiders are both winless in the last month, both averaging under 20 points a game in that stretch.

For this battle of reeling teams, it's the Falcons who are 4.5-point favorites and -235 on the moneyline. The point total is set at O/U 44.5, and that's where my game pick will target.

Falcons vs Raiders Picks Week 15

UNDER 44.5 Points (-110)

Both Atlanta and Las Vegas' offenses have never looked worse. 

In the last four weeks, the Falcons are averaging just 14.3 points per game and have gone UNDER 44.5 twice. Kirk Cousins hasn't thrown a touchdown in the last month and has eight interceptions in those four games.

In the Raiders' last four games, they haven't scored over 20 points and averaged 17 points a game. After injuries to Aidan O'Connell and Gardiner Minshew, the Raiders are now force to turn to Desmond Ridder at QB. Ridder's team has lost eighth-straigt games that the QB has appeared in, scoring over 20 points just twice.

It's not that the Falcons or Raiders' defense are any good, but I think both of these offenses are in such shamble that we're not getting to 45 points. 

Falcons vs Raiders Player Props

Kyle Pitts OVER 34.5 Rec Yards (-115)

Kyle Pitts has been bad lately, don't get me wrong. The Falcons TE has just two receptions in his last three weeks, getting just 23 total yards. But, in the previous six weeks, he averaged 63 yards a game. I think we get that good Pitts again this week, facing a Raiders defense that can't stop tight ends. Las Vegas has allowed the third-most yards (873) and third-most touchdowns (seven) to the TE position this year. Last week, Bucs TE Cade Otton had 70 yards.
