Last year after the win in Oakland in which the Broncos didn't play that well, Shanahan was absolutely mocking the Raiders' franchise, and I figured that when Oakland got a chance they would stick it to em.

I didn't expect Oakland to be this bad, nor did I expect Denver to be this good. But if you look at the defenses, Oakland's quitely has become every bit as good as Denver's. Even though Oakland's O takes bad to a whole new level, its a divisional game on the road for the Broncos, and when you are only going to put up about 13 points, it doesn't take much of an offensive fluke for Oakland to cost Denver the game.

Denver probably wins, but I think the chances of Oakland pulling off the upset are much, much greater then anyone expects. Great enough for me to pick them.
