Jason has already texted his pick of Broncos winning by 8, which means he's going with the home team Raiders to cover the 10 1/2. He's gettin' cute again, and this time, I'm right there with him. As bad as Oakland is this season, there are three items of interest to consider in their favor: 1, not only are they home on Thursday, which has been great so far ATS, but that's a big-ass number for a home team on a Thursday. 2, the Broncos have failed to cover twice in a row, and maybe Peyton Manning and his 36-year-old body is slowing down. And 3, one thing Oakland can do well is find late cheap garbage-time touchdowns so Carson Palmer can add to his meaningless stats. Hey, Tony Kornheiser said so on his radio show, so it must be true. Add all that up, and it sets up wonderfully for the Silver & Black to compete and fight with Denver tooth and nail...and wind up losing by 10. Yep, I'm a football expert!
My Pick: Denver 23-13
