Week 12 of the NFL Regular Season is upon us, and we are looking at an interesting AFC clash once the Raiders and the Broncos hit the field.
Las Vegas looks to pick up the pace but it’s already too late. They have only won two matches and lost eight already this campaign, being dead last in the AFC West by a large margin.
Denver is looking to climb up in the conference but they require to be more consistent. They have six wins and five losses, while the Chargers are on a strong win streak.
Why bet on the Raiders?
The Raiders dropped another game in Week 11 and are now in the mix for the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s draft. They have little to offer on both sides of the ball and are set as significant underdogs on their home field against a divisional rival.
One of the big issues with the team is their offense, which has been one of the worst in the NFL. They are averaging 285 yards on attack and 18.7 points per game. Those numbers make them, statistically, only better than the New England Patriots and the Carolina Panthers, and that bar isn’t high to beat.
Gardner Minshew only accumulates 1783 aerial yards and is the number 24 in the general NFL rankings.
Why bet on the Broncos?
We have to point this out early. Everybody laughed at the Denver Broncos when they selected Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick in the draft, as that was a massive mistake in most people’s eyes.
As of right now, Nix has erupted onto the scene as of late, culminating in a masterful performance and victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. He got more than 300 passing yards and completed four TD passes with no interceptions. That win pushed the Broncos to a 6-5 record, one of the most shocking developments of the NFL season.
Denver is sitting in a playoff spot as we enter the final stretch of the NFL season with a one-game lead on the Indianapolis Colts. A win in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders will be another step towards a qualification that not long ago seemed unlikely.
Final Betting Analysis: Raiders vs. Broncos
These divisional rivals met 130 times and the Raiders have a massive advantage with 74 wins, contrary to 54 for the Broncos. There were two draws and two postseason matches, with a 1-1 record.
Despite history, this game is pretty clear to predict due to a simple pair of factors. This AFC West matchup will feature the third-worst offense in the NFL against the sixth-best defense.
Once the Broncos get going, we expect the Raiders to have a bad day for the duration of the match. We’ll go for a win for the visitors at the UNDER.
Go for a win for the Broncos at 1.833. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $83.3 for a total payout of $183.3.
