Looking back to the offseason, this upcoming showdown in Atlanta was probably overlooked by many, largely due to the level of expectations that were placed on both the Atlanta Falcons and the Las Vegas Raiders prior to the season getting underway.
The actual manifestation of the season however has changed things immensely for both squads. One is scrapping for a playoff spot and has played the defending Super Bowl champions impressively on two different occasions, and unfortunately that’s not our team. The other team is still trying to figure out an offensive rhythm and has fired their former head coach and general manager this season, and unfortunately that’s our team.
