Atlanta at Las Vegas

Atlanta got its offense going in the second half in Week 1, but fell short because of shaky defense, which was also a problem last season This team has talent on offense behind veteran QB Matt Ryan and the best WR in the game in 27-year-old Julio Jones. The defense improved under this coaching staff but they are still middle of the pack, finishing last year at #16 in yards allowed, #14 in points (21.6 points per game) and #14 against the run. They match up well with an Oakland team that has all of its talent on offense. They come off an emotional comeback win at New Orleans last week, but still surrendered 34 points and 507 total yards, including 419 passing. QB Drew Brees shredded the weak secondary for four TDs, and no picks. Oakland is 7-21-1 ATS when following a spread cover, plus 6-14-1 ATS after a straight-up win. The Raiders head into Sunday's game with a reworked offensive line. Both RTs Matt McCants and Menelik Watson were injured last week. That's a concern as Atlanta has speedy outside linebacker Vic Beasley, one of the up-and-coming pass rushers in the NFL. Oakland can put up points but will give up just as many, and is 11-5-2 OVER the total on natural grass, plus 22-7-2 OVER after a spread win. Oakland is also 3-7 ATS against a team with a losing record. Play Atlanta and the OVER.
