Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction
This game is going to be lower-scoring. The Broncos are averaging 21.4 points per game and they aren’t going to run up the score here. I believe they might score 20 points, but they aren’t going to go higher than that here. The Raiders offense overall has been a major issue and they are going to really struggle to get anything going here. They might struggle to get seven points. Back the under to cash here.
