Atlanta (-8.5) - Oakland Continue on the NFL today with a showdown between two teams that are following different routes right now.
Atlanta Falcons with a perfect record at 5-0 and 4-1 ATS welcome the troubled Raiders that are 1-3 and 1-3 ATS. Atlanta may not be as imposing as this year's record shows but has the way to take the games this year. Defense generates enough turnovers (14) and has at least one in each match. Aggressively the Falcons have a small drop in the running game, but in the air they are excellent with Ryan and his company (White-Jones-Gonzalez) taking part in passing yards and touchdowns, with 281 yards per match. The total aggressive production for Falkons this year is close to the 30 points, while defending 19.
The Raiders are not in good shape and most problems come from the defense. The team receives more than 30 points per match, and these statistics were shown in the 6-37 match where, beyond the big score, Broncos allowed 500 + yards to accumulate. Beyond the defense and the attack is sluggish and is last in the league with only 61 yards per game / rushing! Overall, aggressive production for Oakland is just 17 re / check points.
The Falcons today will continue their good course before heading off against a team that is aggressively aggressive and is actually a pack of defensive boxing. I expect the Atlanta to score enough in the air tonight as it has the weapons to get points from all. Suppose the final score would be a double-digit difference for the Falcons, since the Raiders have to make a total transformation to get competitive today.
Atlanta Falcons - 8.5 @ 1.82, Pinnacle.
