Latest Odds : OAK -1 Total 43
The Denver team is one that is hoping that the team has a good quarterback finally. The Broncos have been looking for a quarterback for several seasons, but it really has been hard for the Broncos to prove that and in the preseason the Broncos did not look overly impressive. Some of those losses have some of the fans questioning if Elway is the leader the Broncos need to have.
The quarterback the Broncos had drafted and hoped would make the difference for the team in Drew Lock is the third string quarterback that is injured. Now, the team has to rely on Joe Flacco the Ravens former starter, notice former, to help guide the team. The good news is the rest of the offense is fairly healthy for the team. Defensively the Broncos are playing in the 3-4 on the year and that normally would not be an issue, but Von Miller is already listed as questionable.

Oakland had an impressive preseason so far and that can really help the team out coming into this game as well. What really was impressive for the Raiders was the fact that the team was able to take the Packers game when the starters normally would be in the game and that was a victory that came from great coaching that saw the Raiders score 22 points and the defense only give up 21 points.
Derek Carr is the quarterback the Raiders are looking to carry the team and even after trading away his targets last year, the Raiders have retooled this year and have Antonio Brown coming into the game here as a potential target for Carr. The line doe have some issues for the Raiders, which could cause some problems for the team. Defensively the Raiders are coming in fairly healthy with Ellis being the only player on the defensive line that has been injured this season.

The Raiders are the favorite by a point in this game, but the Raiders are a team that looked good in the preseason so far. Look for that to continue in this game here as the Raiders have a decent quarterback in Carr, but also he has some good targets this year and that will help them out. Flacco has a good chance to be impressive on the game her, but will struggle as the Broncos defense controls this game. Final Score, Oakland Raiders win and cover ATS 30-20.
