Broncos Spotlight

The Denver Broncos couldn’t get the job done at home last week against the Cincinnati Bengals as 3-point favorites. On the road, the Bronco’s offense ranks 22nd in points per game, 11th in pass yards, 8th in rush yards, and 9th in yards per play. Defensively on the road, the Broncos rank 2nd in points allowed, 4th in pass yards allowed, 10th in rush yards allowed, and 10th in yards per play.


Raiders Spotlight

The Las Vegas Raiders snapped their two-game skid last week as they stole one in the final second against the Cleveland Browns as 3-point favorites. At home, the Raider’s offense ranks 24th in points per game, 4th in pass yards, 30th in rush yards, and 7th in yards per play. Defensively at home, the Raiders rank 23rd in points allowed, 10th in pass yards allowed, 31st in rush yards allowed, and 9th in yards per play.


Final Say

Las Vegas hasn’t been in the greatest of forms going just 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. However, luckily for them they’ll have some history on their side where Denver has gone 0-5 ATS in the last five road games against the Raiders. They are also just 1-7 ATS in their last eight overall against them too. The AFC hasn’t been too kind to the Broncos either where they are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against them, while they are just 1-6 SU in their last seven games against an AFC West opponent. The Broncos will be without their best game manager in Bridgewater, so the Raiders get the edge there. In fact, Carr has been doing work against this Bronco team where they’ve won three-straight against them by an average of 12 points per game. Rolling with Carr to keep his team in the playoff hunt.


Pick: Las Vegas Raiders -1
