Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction

The Denver Broncos have been on the road through 3 of their first 4 Games and have played surprisingly well. It will be interesting to see if things continue at home with now increased expectations. The Broncos have one of the best defenses in the league. The Las Vegas Raiders have been sloppy defensively, can’t run the ball, and could still be without two of their best players in Maxx Crosby and Devante Adams.

Again, the Broncos now have some eyeballs and that’s added pressure and the offense needs to improve. However, the Raiders are banged up and aren’t playing much defense. I’ll lay the field goal with the home team. The Raiders aren’t in great shape and being on the road likely won’t help.
