Week 12 GDT: Raiders (6-4) @ Falcons (3-7)

This is a dangerous game. Atlanta can score points. Calvin Ridley is such a stud! The Raiders can’t afford to lose this game. 
 

Last year the Raiders sat at 6-4 and laid a big egg. This year they sit at 6-4. Let’s see how this team reacts to the heart breaker on Sunday.

Takk was claimed. He did play for the Falcons. The Raiders play the Falcons...... Maybe he gets a shot at his old team...

must win game imo

Atlanta is talented on offense and can score points. We are the better team but we need to show up and be ready because i can see ATL beating us if we dont come correct. Were in playoff mode from here on out, we need to take care of business and beat bad football teams.

If Julio is out The offense goes into a tank. Take Ridley away in theory and we win. 

Hope this happens.  We really need to win these next two games.  There supposed to be "gimme" games.  Should be entering our last quarter of the season at 8-4 and in control of our destiny.  Just need to split with the Colts/Dolphins (probably will beat the dolphins if they keep playing like they did this week) and win out and we should be 11-5 and ready to rock and roll into the playoffs.

Must win here. 
 

It’s not gonna be easy, but we should be able to pull this off. Their defense is swiss cheese like ours, and I like our offense compared to theirs, although they will score a lot of points. It’s also a dome road game which definitely works in our favor being an offensive team. 
 

We need to take advantage of two things:

- Their back-end is terrible. We need to get Ruggs involved and take deep shots. This is the most favorable matchup Ruggs has all season. 
 

- Their OL is pretty lackluster. If we can get pressure on Ryan, and keep Carr protected, we will win this game. 
 

Raiders win 30-24.

Really a must win game. 

We need to get the W to stay in the PO race.

Gruden knows Morris well and with Takk we got their playbook too, so that could help in preparation.

 

Both offenses look good on paper, but I think we have an edge here.

Falcons is better in yards per game, but only with 12yards.

We are a lot better in 3rd down conversion % (actually we are the best in the league).

Our rushing attack is a lot better then theirs 134yards VS 101yards / game.

Their passing yards / game is higher by 45 yards on average, so there they have a clear edge, however they might not have JJ and that can be a huge difference.

We have more TD passes / game. 

We have more points / game.

Ryan is sacked almost twice as much as Carr / game.

 

Both defenses are struggling, but we might have an advantage here again.

The two teams give up basically the same amount of points to their opponents so far. 

We give up a little less yards / game.

Their 3rd down D (8th in the league) is a lot better then ours.

They have a top 10 run D with 106,5 yards / game, while we are at 12 with 112,2 yards / game.

They give up less run TDs / game, but their average is at 1,1 and we win when JJ has a rushing TD :)

We give up less passing yards / game, which says a lot about their pass D which is 31st right now.

They have a bit more sacks / game then we, but their 1,7 average is still low, so it probably won't be a sack happy game.

 

Neither QB throws lots of INTs and they fumble less then us, so most probably it won't be a high turn over battle.

 

I think their D is a good fit for us and we should win this one fairly easy if there are no breakdowns.

We should be able to control the game clock and put up points regularly.

Our D will give up lots of yards IMO, but we should be able to held them under Carr&Co. in points.
