The Denver Broncos have surprised a lot of folks this year with a record over .500 behind rookie quarterback Bo Nix.

Broncos vs. Raiders Predictions For NFL Week 12, Sunday 11/17

As division rivals these teams naturally play fairly often. This will be the 132nd meeting of the two including two postseason games. The Broncos won their Week 5 matchup earlier this year, 34-18, which happened to beat an eight-game win streak for the Raiders dating all the way back to 2019.

The Raiders are currently on a six-game losing streak as they have not won since their Week 4 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The Broncos have won three of their last five though they have beaten their easier opponents in the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Atlanta Falcons while losing to the tougher ones in the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs.

 

 

 

Denver Broncos: Bo Nix QB1

Bo Nix isn’t just the QB1 of the Denver Broncos, mind you. For those in the fantasy football realm, Nix has been a “QB1” as in a top 12 quarterback in the league statistically. In fact, as of this moment, he is the QB7. Last week he just had his first career 300 yard passing game while throwing four touchdown passes to boot.

As for weapons, Courtland Sutton has been the only consistent one. For the most part they have rotated the rest of the options with Devaughn Vele and Lil’Jordan Humphrey getting the most work. Josh Reynolds is expected to return this week - he’s the only WR besides Sutton who has played more than 80% of the snaps in a game this year and it came back in Week 1. At running back it’s mainly been Javonte Williams outside of Week 10 when Audric Estime had the “hot hand”.

On defense is where the Broncos really shine. They currently rank 4th in DVOA per FTN Fantasy. And Pat Surtain especially has been a nightmare for opposite wide receivers. As good as Nix has been, this team doesn’t get to 6 wins without this defense.

 

 

 

Las Vegas Raiders: Trouble In Paradise

The Raiders became sellers fairly quickly as the wheels started to fall off. They shipped Davante Adams out to play with his old friend Aaron Rodgers. Gardner Minshew was benched for Aiden O’Connell but an injury to O’Connell brought Minshew back into the fold.

That’s not all for injuries to this offense. This week they are expected to be without their top two backs in Zamir White and Alexander Mattison. That will leave Ameer Abdullah and rookie Dylan Laube to shoulder the load. With Patrick Surtain making things difficult for Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers is going to have to have a monster day to keep the Raiders in this.

The Raiders defense has been a bottom five unit so far this year per DVOA over at FTN Fantasy. Injuries to stars like Christian Wilkins and Maxx Crosby have partially been to blame for that though Crosby is back healthy and playing again.
