Date/Time: Sun, Oct 14 / 01:05:00 PM ET, Georgia Dome, Atlanta, GeorgiaWe wouldn’t want to be the Oakland Raiders right now. With a 1-3 record, they’ve had the bye week off to prepare for their battle against a team that just won’t seem to topple—the Atlanta Falcons.
They’ll enter Sunday’s matchup in Atlanta with a full two calendar weeks since their last outing against the Broncos when they fell 37-6 on September 30.
Despite the 8-8 record achieved in 2011, players who bet on the Oakland Raiders last season actually won some money, but this year it seems like they’re giving it all back. The Raiders went from having a regular offense in 2011 to having an offense that’s nothing short of embarrassing in 2012.
And the Raiders will have to face an on-fire Matty Ice, the Falcons QB who’s having a legendary season. Matt Ryan is completing 68.3 percent of his passes with 13 TDs, 3 interceptions, and 12 sacks. Players and NFL football Betting aficionados might want to remember that they’ve got Michael Turner, who is averaging 4.4 yards per carry with 3 TDs.
Players looking for some NFL Action pay attention to how stellar Atlanta is. On defense, the Falcons have allowed 18.6 points per game, 203 passing yards, and 142.8 rushing with 13 sacks and 9 interceptions. Compare that to Oakland, who defensively has allowed 31.3 points per game, 128.5 rushing yards, and 283 passing yards, with no interceptions and 3 sacks.
So what does Oakland have going for them? They’re well rested, having just come off the bye. But anyone following this NFL season knows that it takes more than a good night’s sleep to take down the high-soaring Falcons.
Game Odds:
Oakland Raiders: +9-115, ML +290
Atlanta Falcons: -9+105, ML -360
Game Total: 48 o/u -110
The two teams have met 12 times since 1971, and believe it or not, the Raiders own a slight advantage over the Falcons in their previous meetings. Oakland has won 7 and lost 5, including two straight losses recorded in 2008 (0-24 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum) and 2004 (35-10 at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum).
