AFC West 2020 Week 12 predictions: Chiefs lose to Buccaneers

Las Vegas Raiders at Atlanta Falcons

The Las Vegas Raiders will look to get back in the win column on Sunday, as they head to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. It has been a terrible season for the Falcons so far, as they have fired their head coach and general manager, and could be without star wide receiver Julio Jones in this one.

On paper, the Raiders should dominate the Falcons in all areas of the game, as they are a far superior team at this point. Running back Todd Gurley is out for Atlanta, but Matt Ryan is still a solid quarterback and should be able to move the ball against his Raiders defense at times on Sunday.

Unfortunately for Falcons fans, Derek Carr and the Raiders are playing at a very high level right now and should cruise to victory in this one. Josh Jacobs should find more than enough room to run, and against a terrible Falcons secondary, Carr is going to feast.

Prediction: Raiders 31, Falcons 17
