The 10-point favored Broncos have dominated their rivalry with the Raiders in recent years, winning six of seven and going 21-6 since 1995, including 11-2 at home.

For the Raiders, it is pretty clear why they are not winning games: They can't score. The Raiders have gone three full games and 180 plays without an offensive touchdown, which is easily the league's longest active streak. Oakland ranks last in the league in a plethora of offensive categories, including total points, passing yards, and third-down conversion percentage.

Denver has already blown out Oakland this year, opening the season with a 41-14 road victory where Jay Cutler threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns without an interception.
