00:00The final few weeks, let's move on to the other game, which wasn't as exciting.

00:07Let's just call it what it was.

00:08We all knew this coming in that the Raiders down to their third string quarterback with

00:11Desmond Ritter.

00:12We're going to be doing too much on offense and that's basically exactly what we saw from

00:20the Raiders side of things.

00:21Desmond Ritter, 2338, they had no rushing game, legitimately no rushing game.

00:27So this is going to be the case.

00:28The betting takeaway from this is that Desmond Ritter, A, he's got some juice on the ground

00:33when it comes to running the ball.

00:34So a combined rushing plus passing prop for Desmond Ritter would be the spot to go, but

00:42also attempts.

00:43If the Raiders can literally not run the ball, Mattinson, seven for 21, Amir Abdullah, three

00:49for eight, Sincere McCormick, who did get hurt and didn't return, seven for eight.

00:54Attempts at yards, we are getting absolutely nothing on the ground.

00:56So Desmond Ritter passing plus rushing and Desmond Ritter attempts props may be a spot

01:02to go when it comes to the Raiders to close out the season.

01:06Didn't see a big game from Brock Bowers and, you know, you would like to think that they

01:09get their best offensive player of the ball, like ultimately he is their number one option

01:12on offense.

01:13We've seen it throughout the entire season.

01:15It doesn't matter if it was Aiden O'Connell in there, it doesn't matter if it was Garber

01:17Minshew.

01:18The game plan for the Raiders in the final few weeks should be to continue to get Brock

01:21Bowers the ball.

01:22The halftime, I did mention Jacoby Myers going over 29 and a half receiving yards.

01:27He does end with five catches for 59 yards, but ultimately there's not too many takeaways

01:31from the Raiders.

01:32It is also important to note that they had an extra point blocked.

01:36Daniel Carlson had that extra point blocked and this game ends 15 to nine, which means

01:42we do see the Falcons cover at five and a half point spread.

01:47If they would have kicked that field goal, it would have been within the five and a half,

01:52which is an absolutely coin flip of a game, which is why I said on the pregame show, I

01:57did not want to take the Falcons on the spread.

01:59I just have no faith in them covering.

02:01Ultimately, they probably shouldn't have covered, but they did.
