Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos Betting Tips & Odds

• Las Vegas is 7-3 SU and 8-2 ATS in its last ten games against Denver. Their pass defense has been strong, ranking ninth in DVOA over the past five weeks. The run defense has also been tough.
• Smith and Jeanty haven’t lived up to expectations. Smith has almost as many interceptions as touchdowns, while Jeanty averages only 3.5 yards per carry and has one run over 20 yards this season.
• The Broncos pressured Smith in their last game, and with the NFL’s top sack unit (4.3 per game), they’ll continue to dominate a Las Vegas offensive line that struggles to protect their QB. On the other side, Las Vegas will cause Nix plenty of problems.
