Pro Football Denver Broncos at Oakland Raiders (O/U 41) (10:15PM ET) (ESPN)

DeMarcus Russell is the Raiders first year starter but the Raiders haven’t give him many weapons in the passing game. The Raiders are solid running team and I expect the Raiders to test this Bronco defense, which had a problem stopping the run. Also the Broncos have two really good cover corners so passing yards will be hard to come by. So expect a lot of runs by Justin Fargas and rookie Darren McFadden but the Broncos will most likely be ready for this because they wont respect the Raiders passing game. Jay Cutler will be without his top receiver in the passing game as Brandon Marshall is serving a 1 game suspension. The Raiders defense was very poor in stopping the run last year so I expect the Broncos to try and pound the rock here because the Raiders have a pretty good secondary. There will be a lot of running plays and the clock will be running. Hey if you like punts watch this game because there will be tons of them. Play Oakland and Denver under 41.
