Summary:

Denver has dominated this match-up winning eight of their last nine head to head games with Oakland.  Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is playing like an MVP candidate completing 66% of his passes with 17 touchdowns to just 3 interceptions.  Oakland is (5-0) on the road but (1-2) at home.  Denver ranks as a top five defensive team and should be able to slow down’s Oakland’s potent offensive attack.  For as strong as the Raiders offense is, their defense is equally weak.  Oakland allowed the second most yards of any team in the league and even Denver’s average offense should be able to exploit that.  I like Denver to win a close one on the road.
