Las Vegas Raiders vs Broncos 2022 Week 4: Bold Predictions

Raiders defense limits the Broncos to less than 10 points

Don’t be swayed by the Broncos’ 2-1 record heading into Sunday, this team is arguably the least promising in the AFC West after three weeks of football. Despite a new quarterback under center and the talent on the offensive side of the ball, Nathaniel HackettRaiders’awn justified skepticism surrounding his playcalling. It’s resulted in a Broncos offense that ranks second-to-last in the NFL in points per game (14.3).

Las Vegas’ defense has been solid to start the season, it’s simply a matter of playing a complete game from the opening kickoff through to the final whistle. The Raiders should be extra motivated to get their first win of the season, and subsequently, improve on their 0.7 average takeaways per game, which ranks 27th in the league.

With the offense expected to be in sync to silence the noise that’s been brewing this season, we’re predicting the defense to hold up their own end of the bargain as well. Combined with Denver’s lackluster play-calling, the Raiders will hold the Broncos to a new season low in fewer than10 points scored in Week 4.
