The Atlanta Falcons head to Sin City on Monday Night Football for a Week 15 matchup with the lowly Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium. 

My Falcons vs. Raiders prop picks expect Bijan Robinson to run riot on the ground against a depleted Vegas defense that just lost Maxx Crosby for the rest of the season.

Falcons vs Raiders MNF props

Prop bet #1: Bijan Robinson Over 84.5 rushing yards

-113 at FanDuel

Bijan Robinson has clearly emerged as RB1 for the Atlanta Falcons in Year 2 over Tyler Allgeier. The former Texas Longhorn has run the football 215 times for 977 yards and an average of 4.5 yards per carry, including eight touchdowns. 

He’s cashed the Over in rushing yards in four of the last five games, rushing for 92 yards in Week 14 and 102 in Week 13. Robinson is a force to be reckoned with, and most defenses have trouble containing his production. 

In fact, he’s only stayed Under in two of his last eight appearances. The Las Vegas Raiders are pretty terrible and while their run defense does rank 13th in the NFL, it was just announced that Crosby is undergoing season-ending ankle surgery. That’s a key defender who will be on the shelf. 

Robinson is running the rock with boatloads of confidence, and while he’s never faced Vegas in his young career, the trends point to the 22-year-old balling out in primetime. 

Prop bet #2: Brock Bowers Over 64.5 receiving yards

-113 at FanDuel

Brock Bowers has been about the only bright spot for the Raiders in 2024, who sit at 2-11. The rookie tight end has broken all sorts of records, and after Vegas traded Davante Adams to the Jets, he became the clear top target despite not actually being a wide receiver. Bowers leads the team with 87 receptions for 933 yards and four touchdowns.

The former Georgia standout also leads NFL tight ends in catches and receiving yards, which is wild for such a young player. The trends aren’t exactly pointing to Bowers having a huge game here, but hear me out. 

He’s hit the Over in just two of the last four contests and was held to just 49 yards in Week 14 against the Buccaneers. The week before, however, Bowers had 140 yards and 10 grabs against the high-flying Chiefs. 

The Falcons are 25th in the passing yards allowed, and I expect Bowers to bounce back. Whether it’s Desmond Ridder or Aidan O’Connell under center, a big game is coming.

Prop bet #3: Kirk Cousins Over 235.5 passing yards

-113 at FanDuel

After signing Kirk Cousins to a massive contract in the offseason, he hasn’t necessarily lived up to the paycheck. The veteran signal-caller has thrown 17 touchdowns against 15 interceptions for a total of 3,396 yards. He’s struggled immensely, with six picks in the last two games and zero TDs, but Atlanta is staying committed to Kirk for Week 15. 

I would not even entertain betting on Kirk's passing touchdown total. However, passing yards have been a consistent area of production. After all, Cousins ranks fourth in the league in that category. Despite the two INTs last week, he threw for 344 yards. 

The 36-year-old has hit the Over in three of the last four contests. The Raiders are 15th in that specific category and do not have the best secondary. He’s also averaging 260.5 passing yards per game on the road this season. He'll respond and put together a solid performance in Vegas.
