Las Vegas Raiders vs. Denver Broncos: How to Bet 2020 Week 10
By Sean Basile
The Las Vegas Raiders will look to move to 6-3 on the season against the Denver Broncos this Sunday, and here is how to bet the game.
The 5-3 Las Vegas Raiders travel back home this week after two-straight victories on the road to take on another division rival in the Denver Broncos. History is on their side, but is it ever that simple with the Raiders?
First, I have to briefly recap because the last time I talked to you was Week 8 when we nailed the Raiders upset victory over the Cleveland Browns, 3-for-3 in the moneyline, spread, and O/U (under 49.5).
That game went exactly how I thought it would, as the Raiders dominated the time of possession nearly 38 minutes to 22. Josh Jacobs rushed for almost 130 yards on 31 carries and the Raiders defense played their best game of the year halting an explosive Cleveland run game.
The Browns managed to go over 100 yards on the ground across three of their backs, but nothing hurt too deeply as the Raiders kept the Brownies out of the end zone.
Somewhat of an aberration in this era of Raiders football.
Regardless, for those of you not familiar with me, I’ve never been so right about a Raiders game these past two years, so allow me to bask in it while I can……………….that was nice.
Last week, I unfortunately left you all hanging, but you’ll be relieved to know I got back to my poor prediction for the Raiders ways because I had the Chargers in that game to win and cover, bringing me to a resounding 3-5 on the season in picking Raider games outright and 2-6 picking Raider spreads.
Good news is, I had the over 51.5 right, but the Raiders, as they’re always one to do, won a game they shouldn’t have, statistically.
And honestly, I should have known better since all this Raiders team does is win games they’re supposed to lose and lose games they’re supposed to win. That’s the only thing consistent about them in this Jon Gruden era of play.
Justin Herbert is going to throw for 326, 2 touchdowns, and zero interceptions and LOSE while Derek Carr goes 13-for-23 for 165?!?! I’m telling you guys this Raiders team is out to get me.
Will I learn my lesson this week? Absolutely not.
I’m going right back to what I think is right and I’ll be the one holding the bag yet again when the Raiders don’t do what I want them to do.
