Raiders vs. Broncos Pick
Spread Pick for Raiders vs. Broncos
- Broncos -8.5 (4 units)
Las Vegas has dropped two straight overall and is just 1-3 on the road this season. The Raiders have dropped three straight games on the road, getting outscored 112-30 in that span, heading into this contest. Denver has been on a roll with six straight wins, including come-from-behind triumphs over the Eagles, Giants, and Texans. The Broncos are a perfect 4-0 at home on the year, outscoring opposing teams by a 131-71 margin in those contests. While the Raiders looked better with Bowers back last week, the fact remains that they are facing a stingy defensive team in the Broncos. Denver should harass Smith and make life miserable for the Raiders’ offense. Take the Broncos at home in this contest as they make it seven straight wins.
Over/Under Pick for Raiders vs. Broncos
- Under 42.5 (4 units)
Las Vegas has seen the under go 5-3 in their eight games on the season. The Raiders have stayed under the number in three of their four road games this season despite allowing at least 31 points three times and at least 40 twice. Denver has stayed under the number in six of their eight contests on the season. The Broncos have split their four home games in relation to the total, going over the mark in their last two games as they lit up subpar defenses in the Giants and Cowboys. It’s tough to see the Raiders doing much offensively against the Broncos’ defense and Denver will be content to build the lead, then grind the clock. Look for this game to wind up falling short of the total.
