00:00When the Denver Broncos DRS are booked as a favorite, it's for good reason.

00:08The Broncos win by double digits, 10 points in fact.

00:11In Las Vegas yesterday, 29-19 as a 6.5 point road favorite, over 41.5 as well.

00:20The Broncos now a favorite five times this season and a perfect 5-0 against the spread,

00:26not just as a favorite DRS, but Denver one of the best covered teams in the National

00:30Football League this year, 9-3 ATS, 7-5 straight up.

00:36The Raiders are a different story, but the Broncos look primed with a rookie quarterback

00:41in Bo Nix, who continues to deliver and improve week over week to be a playoff team in the

00:48AFC this season.

00:50Yeah, maybe they can be, arriving maybe a year or two ahead of schedule, which is great.

00:54One thing you like about Sean Payton is early on he identified Bo Nix and said, you know

00:58what, we're not going to baby you.

00:59You're going to throw that football 35 to 40 times as a rookie.

01:01You're going to make your mistakes.

01:02You're going to learn how to be more efficient.

01:04And you knew the way to attack the Las Vegas Raiders was not running the football.

01:08It was through the air.

01:09You let him throw 42 times yesterday, 273, two touchdowns, a passer running of 94.6,

01:14exactly what you needed.

01:15One of my favorite wide receivers been coming into the day yesterday was Cortland Sutton,

01:19finishing with eight catches, 97 yards and two touchdowns.

01:22How about Devon Vele, six for 80 there.

01:25We expect great things now out of Bo Nix and also one of those environments where you're

01:29supposed to win.

01:30I understand the Raiders are two and eight, but it's still a road game in your division

01:33and your rookie quarterback.

01:35He handled himself well in that game and also shout out if you had the Denver Broncos yesterday

01:39with a first and goal for the Vegas Raiders, the one yard line, an incomplete pass followed

01:43by a sack and the Raiders were like, hey, you know what, nine seconds on the clock.

01:48Let's not hurry back to the line and get a snap off.

01:49We'll walk off.

01:50That's a big win for Broncos backwards yesterday.
