The Denver Broncos have a different look these days under young signal caller Brock Osweiler, but the experiment has worked out so far. Denver has won each of his first two starts after replacing future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning and will be seeking to make it three in a row in Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders.
- The Broncos are 13-2 SU and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games in December.
- The Raiders are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games against their division.
- The Raiders are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games after an ATS loss.
Denver has been the Kryptonite for the Raiders in recent years. The Raiders have dropped each of their last eight meetings with Denver. The Broncos certainly have made a habit of performing well against their division, going 8-1 ATS in their previous nine against AFC West opponents.
The Raiders opened as 7.5-point underdogs at sportsbooks, which will appeal to UNDER bettors. In the Raiders’ last 11 games when tabbed as underdogs, the UNDER is a sizzling 10-1.
