Broncos offense vs Raiders defense

The Raiders defense has received a ton of hate this season, and for fair reason, as they have been wildly inconsistent all season long. Fortunately for the Raiders, the Broncos have one of the worst offenses in the NFL, and they should be able to force some mistakes from their rookie quarterback on Sunday.

Denver averages 302.6 yards of offense per game, ranking them 28th in the NFL. On the other hand, the Raiders defense has played great the last two weeks, holding the Jaguars to 20 points, and the Chargers to 17.

If the Raiders come out and play like they have the last two weeks, they will shut down the Broncos offense, giving the team every chance possible to win the game. Remember, this is going to be a very hostile environment, so if the defense can make some big plays, they may be able to take the crowd out of this one.
