Sunday afternoon’s Week 11 AFC West matchup between the Denver Broncos (3-6) and Las Vegas Raiders (2-7) will take place at Mile High Stadium.
Las Vegas comes into this game after yet another discouraging defeat. This time, despite having a 4.5-point advantage, they fell to the Colts 25-20.
The Broncos, however, suffered their fifth loss in the previous six games when they were defeated by the Titans on the road.
Will the Broncos resume their winning streak? Can the Raiders triumph in their opening away game? Let’s check out these two teams and see how they stack up for Sunday’s matchup so you can bet against their NFL Lines.
NFL Week 11 Lines & Analysis for Las Vegas Raiders at Denver
Raiders Look For First Road Victory
The Las Vegas Raiders continue to struggle in the 2022 regular season as the team dropped its seventh contest of the season, falling to the Indianapolis Colts 25-20 at home.
The Raider defense conceded over 400 yards to the Colts, while Las Vegas mustered just 309 total yards. To make matters worse, the Black and Silver lost to a Colts team who hired a head coach with no coaching experience.
The Raiders fell victim to another ugly loss, and there is blame on both sides of the ball. Defensively, the Raiders have not been able to stop their opponents on offense.
The defensive unit ranks 28th in the league in yards allowed per game (376.1), and they are also conceding a whopping 25.1 points to opponents.
On the offensive side of the ball, the Raiders were clicking early as they were very balanced in the passing game and rushing attack.
However, over the last three games, the Raiders have failed to top 321 total yards of offense while averaging 13.3 points over that span. This has all culminated into three double-digit blown leads and a five-game road losing streak.
Broncos Searching for First Division Win
The Denver Broncos have also run into some tough luck, as they are just 3-6 on the season while still searching for their first divisional win. The last time the Broncos played the Raiders, Denver was absolutely embarrassed, falling 32-23. This time around, they expect things to go differently.
Despite trading away one of their best defensive players in Bradley Chubb, the Bronco defense continues to post elite numbers. The Denver defensive unit is conceding a second-ranked 290.4 yards per game while also holding opponents to 26.6 points.
The offense, on the other hand, is a completely different story. The team had high expectations bringing in Russell Wilson; however, the offense has still struggled nine games in, as the Broncos rank dead last in points per game (14.6).
Despite falling to Tennessee last week 17-10, the Broncos will look to defend their home turf.
Betting Lines & Odds
In this home game, the Broncos are the betting favorite with a 2.5-point spread (-110). The Raiders are given +125 odds to win on the road, while the Broncos are given -145 odds to protect their home field. For this game, the Over/Under total is 41.5 points (-110).
Betting Pick
This game is a coin flip, both teams have played awful up to this point, and none of them can be trusted to win this game. With that being said, I love the total in this matchup.
The Broncos have gone under the total five straight games and have gone over just once out of their nine games this season. Denver also ranks last in points per game, and their offense has topped 16 points just two times during the 2022 campaign.
The Raiders, on the other hand, continue to continue to struggle on offense as well. After running the ball magnificently in the first half of the season, Josh Jacobs has struggled to get anything going.
In addition to being winless on the road, the Broncos stuffed Derrick Henry last week and will have no trouble against the Raiders this week.
It should be a cold one in Denver; expect the clock to run and the total to go under.
Prediction: Under 41.5 (-110)
