    Broncos +9 Against the Raiders

    Am I crazy for kinda liking this spread?

    -9 seems really high for a team that got steamrolled by the Chiefs at home.

    Not saying im a strong advocate of this pick, just curious to hear other people's thoughts on this line.

    meh.. laying money on tebow against a decent team doesn't sound fun, but it is a lot of points

    I actually like the under now that I think of it.

    Two very below average offenses...

    Definitely a possibility, but a decision hasn't been made yet.

    I think the Broncos are better off with Orton for now anyway. Tebow is all hype and needs to develop more before he can be a legit starter in this league.

    Still, -9 is really high no matter if Orton or Tebow is starting.

    This game has "stay away" written all over it. 9 points is a lot for a division game.

    9 points is alot...that's why Broncos +9 looks good. But I may just stick with the under...

    BTW, I'm really liking the 49ers -3 against the Redskins 49ersFan.

    Wonder what the over/under on Tebow completed passes will be. I'm thinking 7 or 8.

    I laid some money at under 42 1/2.

    This could be an ugly, low scoring game like Broncos Dolphins

    how good is the Broncos run defense? If i was coaching the raiders I would bench Carson Palmer and put Terrell Pryor in there and run the wild cat

    Be careful with the under. I know the Raiders threw at least 2 pick 6's vs chiefs last game

    No one said they wouldn't win....Are you suggesting they will cover -9? If so, will you be laying money down on them?

    I can see both teams implementing a run first offense considering how sketchy both teams' QB situations are. I see this game being an ugly fight for field position with lots of FG's and punts but not many TD's.

    I like the plus 9. As bad as the broncos are the raiders are just not good enough to lay 9 to anyone.

    I think the Raiders win by double digits pretty easily. Tebow is not good. He borderline sucks.

    The raiders are coming off a bye week that featured extra work put in by Palmer and the receivers so I expect Palmer to be much better this time around.

    The Raiders have also just signed TJ Houshmandzadeh who played with Palmer previously. Add to taht that Darren McFadden is finally healthy after a foot injury slowed him down.

    Raiders win by 10+.

    Philly, don't let you being an Oakland fan cloud your thought process. Housh will make no difference, Palmer does not borderline suck, he flat out sucks. Where are you seeing McFadden is healthy? I'm seeing questionable everywhere..

    At the moment a carson palmer-led team cannot cover 9 points against anyone except MAYBE indi. he will struggle this week and probably the rest of the season. He's a rusty qb with skills that have already eroded over the past few years.

    I'm going with Tebow on this one. lol. 20 dollar bet. I have a feeling Tebow shocks the public with a good performance.

    This! I live in DC. Have watched them play for the last 7 years and can tell you this is the beginning of the end for the season. They probably have one more cover in them against a good team but its not this week.

    With a QB who is evolving from game to game (Tebow) and the Oakies not much different, I'll stay away from this one.

    Still? Mcfadden is in all likelihood out. My +16 1/2 teaser and under bet is looking better and better

    ?? None of this is right.

    As was said Darren McFadden is looking more likely to NOT play this game from every report I've read. With the new CBA Palmer actually didnt get much playing time at all during the bye because they only allow so much practice now. Plus Palmer is just as bad as Tebow in my opinion, atleast tebow can scramble. TJ has almost 0 work with the offense so don't expect him to make much of a difference at all this week or the next few weeks. I'm not betting the game but I would take the broncos and the points.

    McFadden is definitely out this Sunday. Think the under might be the way to go.
