On Monday night Denver confirmed what we already knew - their defense is pretty good. They've held their last three opponents to 7 or fewer points. Their offense however is another story. It has not scored more than 17 points and is averaging 12.3 per game after four games. Not good at all. Against Oakland's defense, they should have some more success for sure. But I don't see the Raiders scoring much. They put up 20 vs. San Francisco and 21 vs. Cleveland but against the two stout defenses they've faced (San Diego and Baltimore), they managed 6 total points. Versus Denver's defense that will be fired up again under the primetime lights, Oakland may not get a touchdown. And, I don't expect 30+ points from Denver as their offense is mediocre. Take the UNDER.
