Monday Night Football Oakland Raiders against Denver Broncos Odds

The Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos play their season openers this Monday Septemmber 12th, 2011.

We would like to remind you to play against any NFL home pick or favorite with triple revenge exact versus a division opponent that won eight or more games last season.

That puts us in a winning 41-24-4 spot since 1980. That stat appears to be the icing on Al Davis’ 100th birthday cake as the Raiders are 10-2 ATS (6-0 SU and ATS last season) versus the division since 2009 while the Broncos are an overrated 2-11-1 ATS their last 14 tries as home favorites.

Even series history sides with the Silver and Black as the Raiders are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five visits to the Mile High City, including the last three in SU variety.

Oh, and here’s a little more FYI: 0-4 teams from the pre-season that dress up as dogs (sweat suits optional) are a nifty 8-4-1 ATS in season openers.

Take out the trash, mow the lawn, wash the car, paint the garage but, most importantly, grab the points. It’s the Ray-duhs… outright!

The current betting line for this matchup is Broncos -3 point favorites and the total set at 40½.
