The Oakland Raiders should be without their star receiver, Michael Crabtree, when they take on the Denver Broncos today at Mile High. The Raiders David Carr did not look impressive last week against Washington when he completed just 19-31 passes for 118 yards and had 2 interceptions. To make matters worse, Oakland’s Amari Cooper is banged up with a knee issue but should suit up today. This will force the Raiders to hand the ball to Marshawn Lynch, who is definitely showing his age. Lynch rushed for just 18 yards last week on 6 carries against the Redskins. The Broncos defense is stellar, ranking #1 in the NFL against the rush, and holding teams to just 2.6 yards per carry. The Raiders are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings with Denver and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games at Mile High Stadium.
