1* Free Play Broncos.

Denver is coming off a humiliating loss in New England and I think will take its frustrations out on the lowly Raiders this weekend. If history is any precedence, then the Broncos have to be loving their chances today, since Peyton Manning came to town Denver is 4-0 SU and 3-0-1 ATS in the series. A loss against New England last week can be forgiven, but this is a crucial game as the team must now firmly put that effort in the rear-view mirror and get back to business. And besides the 43-21 setback, note that Denver is still fifth in the league in total offense, seventh in defense and first against the run, holding opponents to just 72 YPG on the ground. And that doesn't bode well for a Raiders offense which desperately needs its run game to help out its weak passing attack; note that Oakland ranks dead last in the league in total offense and rushing and 31st in scoring. If this game was being played at Mile High, surely the Broncos would be a much bigger favorite (-17 perhaps?). Because of the way it lost last week, I think DENVER comes in focused and covers this manageable spread as the game comes down the stretch.
