The Denver Broncos (6-9) are considered 3.5-point home favorites against the Oakland Raiders (7-8) in Week 17 of the 2019 NFL season, according to odds from BetMGM. The over/under for combined points scored between the two teams has been set at 42.5.
Last week, Denver scored 27 points in a 27-17 win over the Detroit Lions (3-11-1) and Oakland scored 24 points in a 24-17 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers (5-10). That’s 51 combined points from the Broncos and Raiders last week, which would be over this week’s over/under line.
Oakland leads the all-time series against Denver 65-53-2 but the Broncos have won three-straight games against the Raiders at home.
Oakland still has a chance to reach the NFL playoffs (they will need some help from other teams), but they will have to win in Denver to keep their hopes alive. The Broncos will be motivated to prevent their AFC West rival from reaching the postseason.
