Denver came within a touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons last week, but they wound up with a 34-27 loss. Denver was down 27-6 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. The losing side was boosted by QB Drew Lock, who passed for two TDs and 313 yards on 48 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 47 yards. Lock ended up with a passer rating of 116.40.

Meanwhile, Las Vegas didn’t have too much breathing room in their game with the Los Angeles Chargers last week, but they still walked away with a 31-26 win. The Raiders’ RB Devontae Booker filled up the stat sheet, punching in one rushing touchdown.

The Broncos are expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the squad has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.

Denver is now 3-5 while Las Vegas sits at a mirror-image 5-3. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Denver is stumbling into the matchup with the second most thrown interceptions in the NFL, having thrown 12 on the season. To make matters even worse for Denver, the Raiders come into the contest boasting the second fewest thrown interceptions in the league at two. Denver’s sloppiness could come back to bite them.
