Raiders at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Broncos 31, Raiders 13

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Broncos (-475), who are on a 6-game winning streak and are undefeated at home this season, to handle the Raiders (+360), who are 1-3 on the road.

Against the spread

BRONCOS -9 (-110).

The Raiders have scored 6 or fewer points in 2 of their last 4 games. They are just 2-5-1 ATS and have failed to cover the spread in 3 of their 4 road games. They have allowed at least 30 points in 3 of their last 4 games, including back-to-back.

The Broncos have covered the spread in back-to-back weeks and in 2 of their last 3 games at home. They have scored at least 33 points in 2 of their last 3 games while allowing 17 or fewer in 4 of their last 6.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 42.5 (-110).

The Raiders have hit the Under in 3 of their last 4 games. They have scored 26 points combined in 3 of their last 4 games. Going against a tough Broncos defense, they will have continued trouble advancing the ball.

The Broncos have hit the Under in 5 of their last 7 games. They have held opponents to 17 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 games while scoring 21 or fewer points in 3 of their last 5.
