NFL Betting – Peyton Gets On Track at Home

Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos – Sunday September 30, 2012 4:05PM EST

At some point in the 2012 season, many of the online football betting experts the Oakland Raiders to figure out what is going on and start winning football games. At 1-2, the Raiders can hardly be considered to be out of the AFC playoff race, but it is making it harder to climb that ladder with each loss. The Raiders do have a quarterback with a strong arm in Carson Palmer. The problem is that there is no one to throw the ball to. When the Raiders get behind in the score, the only option the team has is to hand the ball to running back Darren McFadden and hope for the best.

The football betting sites are pretty sure that 1-2 is not how Peyton Manning envisioned his start with the Broncos. It is going to take the Broncos a while to put the kind of offense in place that Manning can work with. In the meantime, there will be offensive linemen that miss their blocks and wide receivers who give up too early on their routes. For the time being, all of the miscues are making Peyton Manning look bad. But when this finally comes together, then everyone inDenver will see the Peyton Manning they have been waiting for.

Oakland Raiders

The per head sportsbook experts have the Raiders’ problem pinned down to the fact that the Raiders just cannot score enough points to win games. After three weeks of play, the Raiders offense is averaging just a little more than 20 points a game. When the defense is giving up just under 30 points a game, a team is not going to win a lot of games with that kind of production. Carson Palmer has the arm, he just needs someone to throw the ball to. The Raiders are just crazy enough to give Chad Johnson or Terrell Owens a try, and the Raiders mystique would be just crazy enough to see a situation like that work inOakland’s favor.

Denver Broncos

The bet online experts know that the Broncos has all of the pieces it needs to be successful. The Broncos still have one of the best defensive units in the AFC and one of the best place kickers in the game. AllDenver needs to do is be patient while the offense gets itself straightened out. What the Broncos need is a game against a team that has a poor secondary and a weak pass rush to help work out the kinks. That is where the Raiders come in.

The Bottom Line

There will still be miscues with theDenveroffense as Peyton Manning and his receivers get used to the new offensive system. But theDenverfans will like what they see in this game much more than what they have seen in the previous two games.
