Only in spurts this season have the Raiders been able to get out of their own way. They had a spurt against the Steelers, thanks in part to Josh Dobbs playing quarterback nearly have the game. They stumbled again in Cincinnati last week. NFL oddsmakers aren’t about to suggest they will bounce back against the Broncos on Monday night. They have the Raiders as 3-point underdogs according to Odds Shark.
In what is being touted as possibly the last game in Oakland Coliseum, the best shot the Raiders have is to play inspired football for the Oakland crowd to leave a lasting good impression.
