The Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders do battle Sunday in week 11 NFL action at Empower Field. The Denver Broncos have lost 5 of their last 6 games. The Las Vegas Raiders look to snap a 3-game losing streak.
The Denver Broncos have split their last 4 home games. Russell Wilson is completing 57.4 percent of his passes for 1,980 yards, 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy have combined for 982 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns, while Greg Dulchich has 13 receptions. The Denver Broncos ground game is averaging 103.6 yards per contest, and Javonte Williams leads the way with 287 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, Denver is allowing 16.6 points and 290.4 yards per game. Alex Singleton leads the Denver Broncos with 70 tackles, Dre’Mont Jones has 5.5 sacks and Caden Sterns has 2 interceptions.
The Las Vegas Raiders have lost all 5 road games this season. Derek Carr is completing 62.4 percent of his passes for 2,128 yards, 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Davante Adams and Mack Hollins have combined for 1,200 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, while Foster Moreau has 20 receptions.

The Raiders are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Broncos are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 vs. AFC and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Raiders last 7 games overall. The under is 45-21-1 in Broncos last 67 games overall. The Raiders are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 meetings. The home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.
I’m not running to the window to back the Denver Broncos in any shape or form, a team that can’t do anything offensively. However, the Las Vegas Raiders can’t hold a lead, their defense is poor, and they just lost to a Colts squad that has a coaching staff that’s never coached before. The Raiders are probably the biggest disappointment in the league right now. At home, give me the Broncos if forced to pick. I’m 100 percent done with the Raiders.
