The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Denver Broncos at home in Week 4, and here are the early betting odds and prediction for the AFC West matchup.
In Week 4, the Las Vegas Raiders will take on the Denver Broncos, looking for their first win of the season. The Silver and Black are the only AFC West team without a victory this season, as Kansas City and Denver are 2-1, and the Chargers are 1-2 with a win over them, so the hole is already dug for them to get out of.
For the Raiders, it has been a crazy start to the Josh McDaniels era, one that saw them nearly beat the Chargers in Week 1, and then blow a huge lead against the Cardinals in Week 2. Week 3 was a terrible loss to Tennessee on the road, and now, with two games left before the bye week, the Silver and Black are in desperate need to save their season.
Here, we take an early look at the Week 4 matchup against Denver.
Raiders vs Broncos Odds Week 4
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, despite the Raiders starting their season at 0-3, Las Vegas is actually the favorite at home against Denver. The spread is currently set at 2.5 in the Raiders favor, but as we inch closer to kickoff, that could change. The over/under for this contest is set at 45.5, so it is clear that the oddsmakers do not expect a ton of offense in this matchup.
If you bet the Raiders on the money line, the odds are -144, while the Broncos would double your money with +122. In a rivalry game, it is anybody’s guess how this one could play out, especially with how uneven Las Vegas has been through their first three games under their new head coach.
Raiders vs Broncos Prediction Week 4
These games tend to be close, and with the Broncos finally having a capable quarterback in Russell Wilson, they are going to be even tougher to beat this Sunday. However, the Raiders are on a mission to grab their first victory of the season, as an 0-4 start pretty much eliminates them from playoff contention in only the first month of the season.
Las Vegas Raiders: Despite 0-3 start, the season is not over
The Las Vegas Raiders may have fallen to 0-3 on Sunday, but their 2022 season is far from over, especially after another wild weekend in the NFL.
Last week, we felt Las Vegas would get the job done on the road against Tennessee, picking them to win by three, but they actually lost by two. This week, we get it right, as Las Vegas will be ready to go at home looking for their first win, and beat the Broncos in convincing fashion.
Final Score: Raiders 28, Broncos 17
