Raiders vs Broncos Prediction
Denver rolls into this matchup looking for their seventh straight win and they will be at home, but they have been very lucky to win three of their last four games. Las Vegas has lost six of their last seven games and they have allowed at least 30 points in three of their last four. The Raiders did play better last week against Jacksonville, but I can’t trust their defense to get many stops. We have seen Denver escape with some lucky wins, but I think they will pull away in the second half for the double digit victory here.
