Why the Broncos will beat Raiders
You can't give a prediction around here without an explanation. So here are my reasons for why the Broncos will beat Oakland on Monday Night Football.
Grab your pen and paper. Take a lesson.
First, the Broncos' running game, with Selvin Young, Andre Hall and Michael Pittman. A strong running always has been the key ingredient to Mike Shanahan's formula for success. The strategy won't change on Monday.
Did you read what former Raiders defensive lineman (and new NFL Network commentator) Warren Sapp told me earlier in the week? You should have. After all, I do write with you in mind.
Here is a take from Sapp on Denver's running game: "Shanahan's going to get into that nasty little double tight end set that he likes, put it in motion, find out if you're in man-to-man defense or Cover 3 because those are the basic coverages that you get, and then he'll attack -- run the ball." Sapp also said, "I know the system Oakland plays . . . (the Raiders) are in trouble."
Now, last season Denver gained only 86 yards on 29 carries in a 34-20 loss at Oakland, so the Raiders' system can't be all bad. But in that game, the Broncos fell behind by double-digits (mainly because of turnovers) and had to pass the ball to play catch-up.
Mark this down: Barring last-minute personnel moves, the Raiders will be playing with only seven defensive linemen on the roster -- including three defensive tackles. Trust me, the Broncos' coaching staff has taken notice of those numbers, and will bang at the Raiders with the run often in hopes of wearing down those seven linemen. The list of seven linemen includes defensive end Kalimba Edwards, who been listed on Oakland's injury report all week.
I mentioned turnovers in the last meeting between the two teams. The Broncos committed four, which led to 24 of Oakland's 34 points. Denver had trouble securing the ball in road games throughout the '07 season -- 17 in eight games. When you average two turnovers a game, you're playing with fire and hoping not to lose.
Stronger run game. Even stronger run defense. Ball security. Improved quarterback play from Jay Cutler. Those are the Broncos' keys for success.
As for the Raiders, they're still referring to themselves as the "Team of the Decades." Decade -- or is it decayed? The House of Black and Silver just isn't in order.
JaMarcus Russell is big, strong and still is very green for a starting NFL quarterback. Troubled wide receiver Javon Walker wanted to give back his signing bonus monies and quit the game. Owner Al Davis doesn't like head coach Lane Kiffin, who might get Shanahan-ed (remember his firing after the Raiders' 1-3 start in 1989?) if Oakland starts the season poorly.
The Raiders' best passing plays of the night might come through rookie running back Darren McFadden. I know the Broncos' coaching staff is wary of McFadden throwing a pass or two like he did at the University of Arkansas. Denver hopes to get a big lead early, shut down the run and force the Raiders to pass the ball. Thing is, even if they're trailing big, the Raiders probably will keep running the ball because they lack confidence in Russell's passing abilities.
Judging from what's been talked about, reported and seen during training camp for both teams, the Broncos right now are better all-around. I'm sure Bronco Country would like a blowout win on Monday. For that matter, Raider Nation would like a blowout win.
Mark this down: the Broncos win 27-17 in a grind-em-up, workman-like performance to start the 2008 season.
By the way, here's a Open Mic tidbit for you: The Broncos will open the regular season on the road against an AFC West opponent for only the second time since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970. On Sept. 9, 1990 Denver lost 14-9 against the Los Angeles Raiders at L.A. Coliseum.

Late kickoff means an afternoon nap tho.
Solid preseason, balanced running attack,
experience at QB, and a faster D.
Add it all up and the black and silver become a
dreary gray.
Denver wins 31-14.

I think we pull off the win Monday night! i don't see too many defenses that can stop what we have to offer. It will be a little difficult with out B-Marsh. Because he is Cutler security blanket. Anytime your missing that kind of talent of offensive. IT will be harder. But we should still be able to spread the defense out with two tight end sets!! I don't think the Raiders have that team chemistry yet! They do have personell on defense. But chemistry is everything

Sam,
your kidding about the Broncos running game right. I can't believe anyone would be intimidated by a group of running backs led by Selvin Young. I am a diehard Broncos fan but lets be realistic about the running situation. All three of the Radiers running backs Fargas, McFadden and Bush are better than any back the Broncos roster. (Michael Pittman are you kidding me, he will be a zero fator) Also I don't think Nate Webster being the MLB will strike fear into anyone.
We will find out really quick how good the Broncos run defense is. I wouldn't be so quick to chalk up a W like the entire Denver media has against this Raider team. This is going to be a good game, a lot closer than people think.

Single key to the game. If we shut down the Silver and Bleak rushing attack, we win and win big. If we don't it will be a VERY long night.
BTW: This game is a MUST win. If the Bronx lose we may very well be 1 and 7 at the bye week. We need a win to kick start our division run.

I hate to say this, really I do, but I don't see this one being close. I have no confidence in our team right now. I don't think JayCut is the answer, I think the running backas are weak (though shanahan has gotten it done with weak RBs in the past) and most importantly for this game, our front 7 is not up to par. They will get sliced and diced, especially if we try to blitz just in case Russell is throwing (which we will) I just see us falling into a catch-22 type of situation. Fargas will have 100+ McFadden 60-80 and Russell will do enough with that TE he's got to beat us. I also have a premonition of that jerk Lelie catching a TD. Sorry fellow Bronc boys, but I think this is gonna be a long year. But hey at least we get KC twice!

The only part of your post I kind of agree with is, "our front 7 is not up to par."
It is not that I don't believe in the front 7, I just don't know. I won't be sure till I see some pressure up the middle and see us stop the run up the gut. I would like to see us sign a big physical DT in Foxy's roster spot. If we could just collapse the pocket, Elvis would run wild.
To me this is the key to our season, I think we are really strong everywhere else.

I have a feeling that when you wake up Tuesday morning, you will be the "horses", well, you know what you'll be. Start having some faith and quit being such a downer.
nuggets217, you'll change your tune about Selvin after Mondays game.
Dan Farto, you are a typical Traiters fan, whining about the game that you lost because we iced your kicker. If it was your team that did it to ours, then you would be praising your coach as a "genius". You LOST, get over it. By the way, I really don't see where your team "upgraded". "Miss Ashlie", please. Mr. "I don't think I want to play football, anymore" Walker? Please. Give it a rest and go find a Raiders blog to cry on and make excuses.

This should be a close game as both teams are hurting in key areas and want to win time of possession. Here's some basic analysis from a Raider fan. Hope you don't mind it taking up space here!
Raider upgrades have occurred on both sides of the ball but the team is still rebuilding. Russell's had two starts but will still make rookie mistakes. Harris at LT is a slight upgrade from Sims. Gallery is settling in at LG (not a bust at this position) and Grove at C is back to full strength after surgery. Carlisle should do his usual good work and Green is still backup material at RT.
TE Miller is one of the best and usually finds ways to get open while the WRs are still a work in progress - not expecting much from them, it just depends on how cool Russell remains in the situation and whether he picks up the blitzes well. He still throws a speed ball which is a problem for the WRs.
The RBs are much improved and it will be interesting to see how Kiffin uses them. Fargas and Bush could be used first to wear down the D, followed by a lot of McFadden in the late second half. There may be some unusual plays but I think Kiffin won't overextend McFadden just yet (e.g., as a WR).
On the D, there has been addition by subtraction: Sapp out (had a poor performance at times last year despite his great overall record) and Kelly moves to DT where he should be much better. The other DT position is a real weakness and will probably be a major point of attack. Burgess should do his usual great work while Richardson will attack the LT. Should be an interesting matchup on that side.
Morrison and Howard need to step up against the run to complement their great passing coverage. The other LB Brown is the unknown but he is fast. The DBs are much better, with Wilson being a much better run stopper than Huff and Huff being a much better FS than Schweigert. Asomugha is one of the best and will get tested more if our run D steps up. Hall is by far a better CB than Washington and was a steal with our second round pick. Whether he holds up physically is another matter.
Should be a great game. Hopefully the Raiders win but it could go either way. Best of luck (you're gonna need it!) :-)

DDave,
I would like more than anything to change my tune about S. Young. I just don't see it happening. I happen to think Andre Hall is our best back until Torain is healthy. This system that Sam always touts as being so great always works between the 20's but what happens when we get into the redzone, we settle for field goals. Can Selvin Young be counted on to pound the ball in on third down in the redzone? Well he has this year to prove it otherwise we will be playing musical runningbacks again.

I like the positive attitude. my prediction is 38-10, BRONCOS! I believe that the bronco's will mix it up so much that the faders wil be constantly off ballence all game long. I predict that Denver will score twice on Defense and that Jay will post some enormous numbers WITHOUT BMarsh in there. I hope I am right about all of this because it would certainly help us going into game two against sandy yagoes.

Truth be told Denver has done Nada since the days of John Elway. Last year in Oakland the Raiders ran the ball down Denver's throat and man handled the Broncos winning the game. In Denver the Raiders out played the Broncos and were a called time out away from sweeping Denver. Every other year Shanny is dumping the D coach and changing schemes, nothing has worked to date.
The Raiders will run the ball down Denver's throat again this year and set up play action. The Raider D will shut down the run and pressure Cutler into throwing into the mouth of the lion.
The Raiders D scheme has been tweaked this year and they will blitz much more then they have in the past.
Monday Night Denver will get a taste of this very talented and young Raiders team that will get nothing but better with time. They will also see just how far behind the Raiders they really are and get a taste of what they can expect for years to come.
Denver will stay where they have been since the Elway retirement which is a below average team that talks a much better game then they can play.

Jello in denver, Cutler also played preseason, not just in camp, or have you forgotten. In preseason (which includes Dallas defensive starters, he ended up with a 117.7% pass rating. 2nd best in the NFL. Yes, preseason, but still impressive. 3 players on the team. Keep lying to yourself, as well as the fellow posters. If you think McCree or Boss, or Dre or Robertson on D and Stokley, Scheffler (who, I'm understanding, will start), Young and Hall on O, are pushovers and not playmakers, your poor analysis will be silenced tomorrow night. But your analysis of Cutler were asinine. Jamarcus is the QB that has questions, not Cutler. Your crystal ball is broke.

Dear Mello in Denver,

I'm not sure exactly what "typical media" stuff I made up -- Russell is inexperienced as an NFL quarterback (TRUE), Davis doesn't like Kiffin (TRUE), Walker wanted to quit (TRUE), the Broncos committed four turnovers that led to 24 points last year in Oakland (TRUE), the Broncos expect Darren McFadden to be involved in the passing game - maybe even throwing a pass (TRUE. Being the typical media guy I am, I spoke with a member of the Broncos coaching staff about it) ... Raider practices are closed. Well, I didn't need to see a Raider practice this summer. I'm not sure where you live, but we have sports bars in my neighborhood. They have that satellite thingy that allowed me to see all the games -- even the exhibition games. I actually watched the Raiders run around in pads -- the first-string, second-string and third-string ...

Sam, tell him like it is. I mean, "Jello in denver" actually thinks that Cutler only looks good because he only played the Broncos in camp???? Stupid remark. BUT, let's just pretend that it's true, just for a moment. That would mean he's throwing against the best corner in the NFL. And Dre isn't exactly a rookie, himself. Plus we have Manuel and McCree. Basically, "Jello in denver" should have thought his comments out. I agreed with your article and I'm with you. I cashed in on the Panthers/SD game (I'm in Vegas and put $100 on it) and I feel I will cash in again, tomorrow night. I have $200 on that one. I'm ready for a great game out of Denver, even without Brandon. I have more faith in Royal, as a rookie, then either Ashley or Walker. But I stand by my team, the Broncos and my putting my money up, that speaks louder then words. I back my talk with $$. We all know what talks and what walks. Talk at you again in the near future Sam, time to get back to my friends. They're yelling for me.

How has the 2008 Broncos improved? Look at the 2007 roster which struggled vs the 2008 roster and you'll see improvement and possibly one position and downgrades at 6 or 7 other. This team isn't even as deep as last year.
You would have to be an idiot to think that this team is playoff caliber and probably will get beat easily in Oakland to start the season.
Who is Jay Cutler going to throw to that will get open on the Oakland secondary and then actually make a play?
Who is going to run the ball that's actually decent?
How is this front 7 going to stop an effective Raider zone blocking O-line with Tom Cable and a trio of RB's including Fargas, McFadden and Mike Bush?

Oh and Wrecker, you say you live in the past... the ancient one, so its no wonder why you don't know how the 2008 team has improved from 2007. Let me refresh you though...
The broncos main problems were:
1) Stopping the run
2) Red zone stalling
3) Rushing the passer
How did they fix these problems?
1) Bringing in a dominant Dwayne Robertson. D-Rob has played well in a 4-3 system with the Jets even though he is a 3-4 fit (which he now is in). Marcus Thomas is finally coming into his own and will hopefully become an extremely dominant player this year. DJ Williams is back on the weakside doing his thing. Nate Webster is a natural middle linebacker, he may not be the best but I believe he can manage. Now that the d-line can create pressure the secondary can play closer coverage.
2) Jay Cutler knows he has diabetes. Brandon Marshall is becoming a great WR (and hopefully a better person). Eddie Royal will be a great rookie threat (being at VTech with TERRIBLE QBs he never had a great chance to prove himself as a WR). Selvin Young beefed up and Andre Hall is a great change of pass back. The O-line has a great hope in Ryan Clady who has the potential to be a Joe Thomas. Ryan Harris has Daniel "Training Wheels" Graham beside him. Tony Scheffler is amazing and Nate Jackson is starting to step up. Brandon Stokley is still the slot machine.
3) To be honest, I don't believe the Broncos have improved upon this short comming enough. Dumervil can provide the rush on obvious passing downs but they still lack a every down DE. In my opinion I belive that if anything (aside from injuries) ails the broncos this year, this will be it. Jarvis Moss has this season to prove to the Bronco nation that his 17th overall pick wasn't wasted instead of getting Staley at RT.

Wrecker, man, you live in a delusional world. What do you base the Broncos to be cellar dwellers, when your Raiders have owned that spot for 5 years? You need to read Person's post again and then come to grips with reality. Your team stinks. Heck, I bet the Browns could beat them. Even Seattle. And if you think that Oakland could "easily" beat Denver, again, you're speaking pure trash. And to think you called "us" idiots. If Selvin didn't share with Travis, last year, then he would have ran for well over 1400 yards. He had to split the time and still got over 700. If you think Hall can't run, then you need to put down your beer and pot pipe for a moment and regroup your thoughts. Also, as Wrecker said, we don't have the same D-line. We have one of the best in Robertson and look out for Boss. He will make his presence known, tonight. He is healthy and ready. Don't think your Raiders are going to move from last place to division winners. Not happening. Tonight, Denver will show you why.

Raider Ray, I guess you're feeling pretty stupid, now? Maybe that's why you aren't writing in? How about those RB's? You remember them, don't you? The ones who scored 3 touchdowns? I said your comment was asinine because you didn't bother to finish reading Sam's article. Instead, you chose to rip off a rant with no knowledge of the article. Ignorance is bliss. So, don't go away mad, just go away.

AZDynamics - Fast Eddie Royal wasn't on the radar in my pre-game prediction ... Can't get 'em all right!!! ... ;) ... The happiest guy in Broncos camp (outside of Mike Shanahan and Jay Cutler) is Tony Scheffler ... If Royal and Brandon Marshall handle their business, the tight end is going to get some great opportunities in this offense
