It was too hard for me to decide, but thinking about it i would probably bet under, i hate mid 40's totals most of the time...i like Oakland at home, they have an explosive offense and have been waiting for a game like this for a while. One negative i do see is the public/media also are pulling for raiders because they are not typically 6-2 which might make the denver team more focused & motivated. The broncos have a great defense and will be able to contain Carr, Cooper, and Murray pretty well. If everything was normal i could see it being in the 39-40 range but with this stage, and the magnitude of the game anything can happen. :think2:
Last two games these guys played were controlled by Denver's defense and their lack of offense, totaling 26 and 27 points. Oakland far and away the most penalized team in the league which means more drive killing penalties that you can't overcome against a Denver defense. CJ Anderson is out, Booker is banged up and fumble prone, and Semian could be shaky on the road with no running game to lean on. All points to Under for me.
Theres always one prick who cant mind his own business, you clearly are missing the point. Lets take any big rivalry for example, even if one team is way outmatched, the motivation & emotions are at an all time high, which makes the game difficult to predict. In this case both teams are playing for the #1 spot in the division, and oakland has been really bad for years. A mixture of uncommon variables results in difficult to analyze situations because there are no analytics that factor in emotion. I know New York is a shitty place to live, but lighten the fuck up.
