LAS VEGAS – A Monday Night Football matchup between two struggling teams favors the Atlanta Falcons by 6.0 points against the Las Vegas Raiders. The best bet from Monday night’s legal sports betting slate in Las Vegas is the 45.0-point total to go under.

Atlanta Falcons vs Las Vegas Raiders Betting Lines

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Atlanta Falcons	-6.0 (-110)	-270	O45.0 (-110)
Las Vegas Raiders	+6.0 (-110)	+220	U45.0 (-110)

Former Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder is in line to make the start for Las Vegas with injuries to Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew. That’s the only logical reason why the Falcons would be 6.0-point road favorites to anyone in the midst of a four-game losing streak.

With Atlanta averaging just 14.3 points across their last four games, back the 45.0-point total at legal NFL betting sites to go under. A quarterback battle between Desmond Ridder and a struggling Kirk Cousins doesn’t make for a shootout, regardless of how poorly each defense has played.

Expect Falcons To Rely On Bijan Robinson With Struggling QB

Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has eight interceptions and zero touchdowns during the Falcons four-game losing streak, causing them to fall out of first place in the NFC South. Expect Atlanta to rely on their superb run game against an average Raiders run defense in a must-win game.

Lead running back Bijan Robinson projects for 115.5 total rushing and receiving yards on Monday night. Robinson cleared his legal Georgia sports betting projection in three of his last five games.

Bijan Robinson Total Rushing & Receiving Yards Prop

Over 115.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards -115
Under 115.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards -115

The Raiders just gave up 152 rushing yards in their last game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, including 109 total rushing and receiving yards to running back Rachaad White. Bet the over on Robinson’s total rushing and receiving yards prop rather than just his rushing yards, as he averages 4.8 receptions across his last six games.
