The biggest threat to Las Vegas today is the defense of the Denver Broncos. QB Derek Carr has to force feed newly acquired WR Davante Adams, and it needs to be a priority this week if The Raiders want to win. QB Russell Wilson has been uninspiring through his first 3 career games as a Bronco and despite going up against a substandard Raiders defense, there\u2019s no reason to indicate that he\u2019ll explode in this matchup, with an O\/U total of 45 this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Value Pick<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winner: Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seattle Seahawks (+150) v Detroit Lions (-175)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Detroit is banged up on offense. RB De\u2019Andre Swift, WR Amon-Ra St Brown, and WR D.J Chark are all OUT for this contest. It\u2019s worth noting that QB Jared Goff has some weapons still in RB Jamaal Williams and TE T.J Hockenson, with the latter still looking to get his feet wet in what has been a slow start to the year for him. QB Geno Smith is one of seven QBs in the league with a passer-rating over 100, and has played relatively well through three weeks. The Lions 25th overall defense won\u2019t be one to suddenly stop that today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by Nick Chimera<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lock pick Winner: Las Vegas Raiders Denver Broncos (+120) v LV Raiders (-140) Quite simply,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":191,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190\/revisions\/191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluechipbets.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
