NFL Betting - Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos

The Oakland Raiders and Denver Broncos resume their rivalry this Sunday with the Raiders traveling to Denver. The Broncos have started to solidify themselves as the top team in the AFC West Division. They’ve done a lot of things right lately including beating the Atlanta Falcons, and star rookie quarterback Matt Ryan, 24 to 20 last Sunday. The Broncos can be very good when they have to be. Of course, they can also be very bad. Straight-up they are easily the best team in the AFC West Division at 6 and 4. Sport betting fans should note, though, that they are only 3-6-1 against the spread.

 

The Oakland Raiders are a disaster. They had a legitimate shot last Sunday to beat the Miami Dolphins but like they often do, they blew it. They are just horrible. Their offense is terrible. Their defense is the easiest to wear down in the league because they have to play almost the entire game because of the terrible offense. They have won only two games this season and are now 2 and 8 straight-up. Against the spread the Raiders are 4 and 6.

Here are the BetUS online sportsbook betting odds for this game.

Oakland Raiders + 9 ½ - 110 + 350 O 42 ½ - 110

Denver Broncos - 9 ½ - 110 - 450 U 42 ½ - 110

Here are a few trends that might help us find a good online bet in this game.

The Oakland Raiders are 2 and 5 against the spread in their last 7 games overall.

The Over is 5 and 1 in the Oakland Raiders last 6 games versus a rival opponent from the AFC West Division.

The Denver Broncos are 1 and 4 against the spread in their last 5 games versus a fellow AFC Conference opponent.

The Over is 9 and 1 in the Denver Broncos last 10 games versus a rival AFC West opponent.

This game is going to come down to how well the Raiders play on offense versus that horrible Denver Broncos defense. The Raiders should be able to put up some points.

The Broncos, on the other hand, should have no trouble marching down the field and sticking it into the end zone against a Raiders’ defense that is showing signs of wear and tear.

The online betting trends add to the better online bet to make in this one. That’s going to be the over at 42 ½ points. That’s the why I’ll be going. I’m going to make an online bet on the game between the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders to go over the betting total of 42 ½ points.
