Danny Sheridan’s line: Broncos by 4 ⁄2

1

Broncos’ keys to victory

QB Case Keenum needs to protect the football better. Denver was able to overcome Keenum’s three interceptions against the Seahawks, but the Broncos likely won’t be able to do that on a consistent basis, especially against tougher opponents. Rookie RB Phillip Lindsay gained 102 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown against Seattle, and the Broncos should continue to feed him. On defense, Denver’s formula is simple: get after the quarterback, and it produced six sacks and two interceptions in Week 1.

Raiders’ keys to victory

Protecting QB Derek Carr will be imperative. Denver OLBs Von Miller and Bradley Chubb combined to record 31⁄2 sacks in the opener, and Oakland’s offense won’t be able to get into a rhythm if Carr is taking a lot of hits. RT Donald Penn allowed only three sacks last season, so he appears up to the task. But rookie LT Kolton Miller might have a tough time going up against either Von Miller or Chubb.

Who wins?

Denver is carrying momentum from a 27-24 season-opening win over the Seahawks. Denver is always tough at home and will be tough to beat if Keenum (329 yards passing in Week 1) cuts down on his interceptions.

Broncos, 28-17

NOTE: The Raiders’ Week 1 game vs. the Rams ended too late to be reflected in this issue. Passing
