*$1,250* Denver Broncos/Oakland Raiders Under 37 (-110)
Number came and went quick in this one. It always does when dealing with key numbers! Broncos shut out Bengals offense for 59+ minutes in week 1, which is more impressive when considering Bengals followed that up by scoring 31 pts on the road against Green Bay, in week 2. Last week they took care of Browns, holding them to 215 TOTAL yards on offense, and surrendering only 2 field goals all game, while shutting them out for the last 3 quarters of the game. The defense is playing well, and a matchup against the anemic, Jamarcus Russel led, Raiders offense, figures to keep them playing well. Raiders coming off a game where they managed a measly 176 TOTAL yards of offense, against a below average defense in Kansas City. They are led by the arm of Jamarcus Russel, who is not an NFL quarterback, imo. Neither team has big play potential, as both employ a game managing/keep the clock moving philosophy on offense. Both figure to be Under teams this season, and both are 2-0 in favor of the Under so far. I see a low scoring game here, where the battle of field position, and time of possession prove key for both teams. 21-10 Broncos. I'll take the Under here, as I feel this total is a shade too high.
