RAIDERS vs BRONCOS write up !!!

[drthethird]

Offensive Line- Uh oh for the Broncos. Cutler is behind an Offensive line that does not have one returning starter. The have a 15 year center a rookie LT and young RG and RT. How will they stop Derrick Burgess who led the NFL with 18 hurries last year and highest paid DT in the game Raiders Tommy Kelly? The Raiders on the hand have one worry on their hand and it is a 5'11 260lb DE of the broncos who had 12.5 sacks last season. But he's going against the Raiders 6'7 325 LT. The rest of the Denver D-Line is not that great. ADVANTAGE- RAIDERS

Defensive Line- Derrick Burgess and Tommy Kelly of the Raiders are amazing. They helped defeat the broncos lat year 34-20 creating a lot of pressure. Expect the same thing this game. ADVANTAGE- RAIDERS

Linebackers- The Raiders have two linebackers with 4 or more interceptions coming back from last year. That is called athleticism. However this might be a strong point if Boss Bailey is healthy for the Broncos. Reports though Bailey said himself if it were a preseason game he wouldn't even think about it. ADVANTAGE- RAIDERS (I SWEAR I'M NOT A RAIDERS FAN)

Cornerbacks- Finally the Broncos have a chance right? Becareful though is Bailey to old? Will Bly be healthy? The answer it won't matter the Raiders aren't going to pass that much. But Deangelo Hall and Asomugha of the Raiders have to cover well because thats the only chance for the Broncos. Expect a lot of man coverage by the Raiders and a lot of blitzes by both teams. ADVANTAGE-Lean towards Raiders but you decide.

Safties- Denver weak Oakland STRONG. The Raiders have Gibril Wilson aquired from the New York Giants last year. Since 2004 Gibril has led the league in tackles at his position with 284 solos. ADVANTAGE- RAIDERS

The only reason the broncos have a chance in this game is because of rookie QB Russell of the Raiders.

Running backs- It isn't even close RAIDERS RAIDERS RAIDERS!!!!

Recievers- Both have a key player not playing. Broncos suspended Brandon Marshall for weak 1. And Walker has a bad Hamstring but says he is going to try to play for the Raiders. Advantage- This is tough but BRONCOS

Quarterbacks- Wow finally with confidence do I say Broncos have the advantage however I expect a lot of blitzing from the raiders with a weak Broncos O-line. The only reason this score won't get out of hand is because of the inexperience in Oaklands Russell. He won't win the game for the raiders but can definately lose it for them if makes mistakes.

I know it's week 1 and MONDAY NIGHT. But if you lost anything this weekend get it back with my pick of the week OAKLAND OAKLAND OAKLAND +3+3+3+3

It's not worth taking the moneyline but my prediction

OAKLAND 27
Denver 13

Let me know what everyone thinks. I'm betting 3 units on this tonight Bodog line +3 Oakland.

Unit equalls $100

[pwherr]

Then Broncos it is!

I went with a lot of your pics in college this week Pwherr!!!! I bet on the Jets yesterday though went against your dolphins picked. You made me a few hundred in college but I ended up losing 2 units on the BUNGLES?????

[pwherr]

Yep Cinn is terrible.I had high hopes but that died.And Fins should have won.Did you watch the end?

[goldenchump]

sure it's worth taking the ML....they will win outright, don't need the 3 points!

[drthethird]

Haha yes I watched the end I thought the missed pa attempt would doom the Jets. I just for the life of me could not figure how all of cappers yesterday were taking the dolphins. We all make bad pics I.E. Bengals yesterday but how did you think the dolphins stood a chance. I know they are bettor than what most think but still they are a 27-32 ranked team.

Awesome write up!! will be fun having you around this season!! =D

[drthethird]

Goldenchump I can see a broncos win if Russell messes things up badly that's why the 3 points are the way to go. If the broncos win it will be a close game. I'm taking the points it doesnt pay that much bettor with the moneyline.

Thanks jgotskilz

Cash them Drthethird

[goldenchump]

no worries mcfadden russell and walker will mix it up well IMO I think the O will click tonight!

BOL....nice write ups!

[iggs111]

you just pretty much stated that the Raiders have the advantage in every aspect of the game except qb, and you say it's not worth taking the moneyline but they cover the 3? Gl 2nite

Oakland's pass D is top notch. Denver is without B Marshall. T Scheffler doesn't know if he is the starting TE. Oakland will unload Fargas + McFadden on a weak Denver run defense. Look for Zach Miller to catch a few key chain movers. Black Hole on a Monday night???? Are you kidding me? Oakland getting 3 points????

[drthethird]

Thanks Aleana and All I'm saying is I'm taking Oakland. I would take the moneyline if it was +200 but why risk it for a measley +130 when you can get 3 points for -105.
