Top Rated 10* NFL *SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL*
(NFL) Denver vs. Oakland,
Total: 43.50 | -103.00 Under
Result: Win
Play: Over
Rating: 10*

The Oakland Raiders host AFC West rivals Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football, and the total for this contest looks a little low to me. Yes, Denver has a great defense, but Oakland does not. The team is giving up 410.4 yards per game and only the lowly Browns are worse in that aspect, while the Raiders 25.4 points allowed per game rank in the bottom third of the NFL. The Raiders have looked terrific on the ball though. Derek Carr is coming off of a 450+ yard game in last week's 30-24 OT win against Tampa Bay, and he's thrown for 2,321 yards with 17 TDs on the season. Over is 12-3 in Raiders last 15 games following a straight up win and 10-4 in Broncos last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The teams are tied at the top of the division with 6-2 records. This will surely be an intense game, and I think offense will prevail, as so often when the Raiders are on the gridiron this season. Over is 6-2 in the Raiders eight games this season. This should be another one to fly over the total.
