Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos 11/20/2022 Free Picks, Preview and Game Analysis
The Las Vegas Raiders will clash against the Broncos at Empower Field in Mile High City, CO, on Sunday, November 20, 2022, at 4:05 PM ET. As a result of losing three consecutive games, Las Vegas’ hope of making the playoffs is disappearing on the horizon. All three losses came against teams with losing records and the Raiders received jeers as they left the field against the Indianapolis Colts last week. Josh McDaniels, a rookie coach, is having difficulty motivating a playoff-bound squad. His two victories this season came against Houston four weeks ago and Denver, the latter of which he defeated in a 32-23 final score at the start of October.
Owner Mark Davis stated that he is committed to McDaniels for the long term. Without tight end Darren Waller and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, both of whom are on the injured reserve list, veteran quarterback Derek Carr is struggling on the replacement receptionists. Following the defeat against Indianapolis, Carr let loose an impassioned outburst in which he claimed that not everyone on the squad was as dedicated as he was. He still has Davante Adams, a talented wide receiver who averages 87 yards per game and 13.8 yards per reception. Patrick Surtain II, one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, will be Adams’ opponent; in his past four games, he only allowed four catches.
- The Las Vegas Raiders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 matches.
- The total went OVER in 5 of Las Vegas’ last 7 matches.
- The Raiders are 2-8 SU in their last 10 matches.
The Denver Broncos have a similarly poor season, dropping six of its first nine matches under QB Russell Wilson. Before beginning on a four-game losing run with defeats in each game by nine points or less, the Broncos won two of their first three games. After their bye week, they returned with a 17-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans the previous week. They recovered with a 21-17 victory against Jacksonville in London. In the first game, Denver was behind by two points with two minutes left when Raiders running back Josh Jacobs scored a touchdown.

Only 57.4% of Wilson’s throws were completed for 1,980 yards with seven touchdowns, and five interceptions. Since the season opener against Seattle, he did not pass for more than 300 yards in a single game. Following Williams’ injury with a torn ACL, Denver’s rushing assault was also severely hindered. In his seven carries for just 24 yards against Tennessee, Melvin Gordon averaged 3.4 yards per carry. Since the second week of the year, he did not have a game with a 4.0 yards per carry average.
- The Denver Broncos are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 5 of Denver’s last 5 matches.
- The Broncos are 1-5 SU in their previous 6 matches.
Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos. The NFL pick for this game is the Denver Broncos. In this game, there is just one unit that is producing quality football play. The Denver Broncos’ defense, second in the NFL, will have no trouble slowing down the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense in this iteration. Carr’s postgame remarks from the previous week likely made matters worse, especially because several of his top targets were already out due to injury. He will struggle against Denver’s defense on Sunday, and the Broncos should come up with a few offensive plays to secure a victory predicted to a score of 24-19.
