Point Spread: 4.00 | -110.00 Las Vegas (Away)
Result: Win
We are backing the Raiders here in this spot. Look there are a few different ways you can look at this Raiders team after the Gruden debacle and the Raiders have lost back to back games now and were horrible last week at home against a lowly Bears team. That was a good spot for them but with the distraction of everything was likely a factor. This is a divisional game with a low total so this likely becomes a FG type game and with the Raiders off back to back losses they need a win here. The Broncos are hurting at the WR position due to injuries and Derek Carr needs to regain his form from earlier in the season when they started 3-0. Both teams are in similar situations having both started 3-0 and both on losing streaks and I don't think there is a lot separating these two teams. The Broncos are not a team that does well in the favorite role. I think the Raiders hang tough this evening as the Raiders are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings and Denver is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a home favorite.
