This is one of those game where the home favorite should be able to cover easily. The only way the raiders might cover in this game would be from a special teams TD like they did last week against Miami or Denver turning over the ball at least 4 times. Even though the raiders D has been playing great lately, the offense on the other hand has just been awful and that good defense will eventually succumb to Denver's passing attack. The Raider's inability to score and inability to sustain some offensive drives is the reason Denver will cover the -9.5.

Denver and over 2 team teaseComment -
I like the broncos.... they showed in ATL that if they can get the run game going a little.... theres no one that can match them w/ points.
Jay Cutler may have more potential in the passing game then anyone I've seen in a long time..... When Marshall, and Scheffler are both healthy they are the most dynamic passing team in the league.Comment -
Broncos could be looking ahead to the Jets game.
This game doesnt really mean anything to them. they have a 2 game lead in the division.
The Raiders will play hard because its a divison game and bec Broncos blew them out already once this year.
Usually division games are close contests and the last one definitely wasnt...
I dont see 2 blow outs in the same season...
Broncos are coming off a BIG win against Atlanta and could also be looking ahead to the Jets.
I think the Broncos win this game by a field goal.
Dont forget that the Broncos arent a very good defensive team especially versus the run...Comment -
I doubt the raiders will sneak on the Broncos like they did a few times in previous years because this is where Shanahan prepare his best game plan. This guy still has a grudge with AL Davis. The times that the raiders do beat or cover against the Broncos is only when they have an experience quarterback playing. The raiders covered when the had Kerry Collins and Josh McMcown as QB, both guys you can say are 80 times better than Jarmarcus Russell right now.
As bad as the Denver D has been playing better lately they are still more than capable of shutting down that anemic Raiders offense. The raiders will need alot of help to put up points, and they have yet to prove they can do it. Denver on the other hand has proven that they can score and they can do it quickly. I think their will be too many 3 and outs for the Raiders, and the Raiders 25 ranked D won't be good enough to hold Denver's 3rd Rank Offense to any less than a 10 point lead.Comment -

The Broncos had a chance to go up 7 early at the 5 but fumbled. Had they scored, I think the Raider would of fold because that what bad teams do. The Raiders confidence only increased after that. Denver drove down their again on their next possession only to settle for a 47 yard field goal and missing it. Denver had a chance to put 19 points in the 1st half but only came away with 3 and that was the story of that game.Comment
