Before you guys remind me...I do know that it is a Huge divisional Rivalry and also know that it is a short week for Denver on Thursday and the Oakland coach's father has just passed away and yes....I am going against a DD homedog which hits at a clip of around 80%. So lets go to see why I am liking Denver.
1. First all the books opened up at 10.5 or greater, which at first glance would of selected Oakland
2. Oakland is just horrible against the pass. Michael Huff as admitted that their Defense stinks. Drew Brees beat this team by 3 TD's and Manning was able to throw for over 300yds the last time they met.
3. The D-line of Oakland cannot stop Dumervil and Von Miller. Frankly they are too fast for them. Last time Oakland played Denver, they scored 6 pts without any turnovers. Along with a bad D-line, Oakland receivers are just plain bad. They drop passes and are just not running clean cut routes. You will see this EVERY week with Oakland.
The biggest issue with Oakland as it is every year is their DISCIPLINE. Their work ethic stinks on both sides of the ball. It shows in their receivers, their D-line and the O-line in giving McFAdden the running game.
4. I put it this way, if Brandon Weeden is able to beat the Raiders by 10pts, in which they really did. Imagine Peyton. Placing all things aside, you have to cap what you see on the field. Look at the matchups.....Who really will be able to cover Moore and Decker. Plus you have one of the best O-lines in the NFL protecting Peyton.
Add this together and the line opening at 10.5 spells disaster to me for Oakland. Oakland's product on the field is just plain terrible and is regressing. Oakland had trouble with Blaine Gabbert.
Again, please give me a reason to bet Oakland based on what is on the field.
