The upcoming "Monday Night Football" game in Week 15 features the Atlanta Falcons against the Las Vegas Raiders. The majority of experts are predicting a victory for the Falcons, who currently hold a 6-7 record, over the Raiders, who are at 2-11.

Kirk Cousins aims to end his streak of four games without a touchdown pass, marking the longest drought in his career. Meanwhile, the quarterback situation for Las Vegas remains uncertain. Aidan O'Connell left last week's game with a knee injury and did not practice on Thursday. If he is unable to play, Desmond Ridder, a former Falcon and current backup quarterback for the Raiders, may start. Ridder played 13 games for Atlanta last year after being drafted in the third round in 2022.

Raheem Morris, head coach of the Falcons, emphasized the need for his team to play "playoff-type football" after they dropped to second place in the NFC South. While Atlanta remains in contention for a playoff spot, unlike their opponents, every game is crucial. Most experts believe that this week will see a win for Atlanta.
