Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders Betting Lines
| Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denver Broncos | -3.5 (-105) | -180 | O44.5 (-105) |
| Las Vegas Raiders | +3.5 (-115) | +155 | U44.5 (-115) |
The return of Josh Jacobs is huge for the Raiders Super Bowl 58 odds and their Week 1 odds. Jacobs led the league with 1,653 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2022.
Denver’s passing defense with safety Justin Simmons and cornerback Patrick Surtain II will be a tough first test for Garoppolo in Las Vegas, However, the presence of Jacobs in the Raiders’ backfield could open up downfield passing opportunities to star receiver Davante Adams.
Adams led the NFL with 14 receiving touchdowns in 2022 and will be a threat to score in Denver on Sunday. His +140 odds to score an anytime touchdown are valuable as the clear number one receiver on the Raiders offense.
Bet the Under (-115) at 44.5 Points
The Broncos ranked eighth for total yards allowed per game in 2022, while the Raiders were 27th. However, adding Marcus Peters, Marcus Epps, and seventh overall selection Tyree Wilson makes the Raiders a much more formidable defense in 2023.
Meanwhile, Denver was the lowest-scoring offense in 2022 with 16.9 points per game. Las Vegas averaged over seven fewer points per game on the road than in Las Vegas, making the 44.5-point total a lock to go under with -115 odds in Denver.
