At risk of losing contact with the Bucs in the NFC South, a win tonight in Vegas is an imperative for the Falcons. Needing it and actually doing it are two different things, however, and Atlanta doesn't have a trustworthy look right now as Kirk Cousins hasn't tossed a TD pass while throwing 8 picks across the past four games...all Falcons losses. But the opposition has been sticky, and the Raiders present the best chance tor a win the past month. Keep in mind, too, that Atlanta wins tiebreakers vs. the Bucs if it can climb back level in the NFC South table. It's also the Desmond Ridder Bowl tonight as he's the only option left for the Raiders after injuries to Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. Ridder of course was with the Falcons last season, but now tries to break a Vegas losing streak that stretched 2 1/2 months. Play Falcons
