(NFL) Oakland vs. Denver,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -126.00 Denver (Home)
Result: Loss
Not that the Raiders have any realistic chance for the playoffs, which they will know for sure when the early start time games finish, but they also aren't winning this game even if their morale isn't destroyed by being eliminated. 
The Broncos have gotten better under first-year coach Vic Fangio and rookie QB Drew Lock, winning three of their last four. 
Denver has revenge for a 24-16 opening week loss to the Raiders that set a bad tone for the first half of the season.
Oakland has been terrible since late November going 1-4 with losses to the Jets, Chiefs, Titans and Jaguars. They have been outscored by 80 points during this span.
The weather is expected to be in the 30s, which is bad news for Derek Carr. He's 0-9 the past nine times when playing in temperatures below 50 degrees with a passer rating of 65.9 compared to 94.7 in other games. 
Running back Josh Jacobs, the Raiders' best skill position player, isn't expected to play either because of a shoulder injury.Â
