NFL Week 4 Odds, Picks & Predictions: Broncos vs. Raiders

The Raiders will look to pick up their first win of the season against the Broncos. This won't be an easy task as Denver brings in one of the most effective defensive units in the league. Ranking 5th in defensive DVOA, they boast a top 10 pass rush which could give Raider QB Derek Carr a tough time.

This could be an opportunity for QB Russell Wilson and the Broncos to finally get going on offense. The Raiders defense ranks in the bottom half of the league in most analytical categories. Russ and the Denver offense is much better than they've shown so far this season and this is the perfect spot against a below average defense to have a get-right game.

Lean Broncos +2.5, u45.5

What is Betting Against the Spread?

Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.

What is an Over/Under Bet?

Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.

What is a Moneyline Bet?

A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
