Denver Broncos
It has been a very strange season for Denver. The Broncos opened the year with two straight wins and then went 1-6 SU and 3-4 ATS over their next seven. Then, Denver broke out of that slump with a 3-0 SU and ATS run that included upset wins over the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers; only to follow that run up with losses as a favorite against San Francisco and Cleveland.
The only thing the 6-8 SU and 6-7-1 ATS Broncos have been consistent in is their inconsistency.
Historically Denver has had plenty of success in Oakland with an 11-4 SU record in their last 15 road games against the Raiders with a 5-2 ATS record in their last seven per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Oakland Raiders
Oakland coughed up the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft with a 24-21 upset win over the Steelers two weeks ago only to quickly get back to their losing ways in a 30-16 defeat to Cincinnati the following week.
The Raiders traded Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper away to stockpile draft picks that they will desperately need to improve this 3-11 SU and 5-9 ATS group this offseason. The Raiders are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 home games against teams with losing records.
Monday night’s total is set at 43 points. The UNDER is 7-0 in Denver’s last seven games.
In the final Monday Night Football game of 2018, football fans are receiving coal in their stockings for Christmas Eve. With a pending lawsuit against the Raiders in place from the city of Oakland, this could be the last game that the Raiders ever play in this building. It is a shame that there isn’t something more on the line.
