This week’s picks
Derek Carr passing yards O/U: 272.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — The pass game has not necessarily been the problem.
■ Ed Graney: Under — Tough assignment for those in front of him.
■ Adam Hill: Under — Expect a focus on the run game to keep the Broncos’ strong pass rush and secondary off balance.
■ Sam Gordon: Under — The Broncos boast one of the NFL’s best defenses, featuring a stout secondary and pass rush.
■ Heidi Fang: Under —Pat Surtain didn’t allow a reception last week when targeted.
Josh Jacobs rushing yards O/U: 63.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — The Raiders are going to get a committee going.
■ Ed Graney: Over — Mick Lombardi says this is a balanced offense. Let’s see it.
■ Adam Hill: Over — Balance has been the key word this week. That’s coachspeak for run the ball.
■ Sam Gordon: Over— Jacobs is averaging 64 yards per game this season while getting 4.6 yards per rush, his best since 2019 when he logged 4.8 yards per carry.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — It’s almost a push, but I’ll give Jacobs the edge.
Davante Adams receiving yards O/U: 76.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — He might get 76 targets.
■ Ed Graney: Over — He’s angry. He’s frustrated. Feed him.
■ Adam Hill: Over — When the Raiders do throw, No. 17 will be the primary option. Maybe secondary, too.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — Expecting the Raiders to emphasize Adams after two underwhelming outings for the perennial All-Pro.
■ Heidi Fang: Under — Adams will have a better game than the past two outings but not in the 100- or even 75-yard range.
Russell Wilson passing yards O/U: 240.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Under — Broncos’ pass game just not there yet.
■ Ed Graney: Under — Unless he’s pass blocking for himself.
■ Adam Hill: Over — Not by much, but the Raiders’ secondary is banged up and the Broncos’ offense has to figure things out at some point.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — Denver’s offense is due to click, and the Raiders’ secondary is dealing with a myriad of injuries.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — It’s a tough call with the Broncos’ offensive line limping in and the Raiders’ secondary depleted, but if Ryan Tannehill can do it …
Javonte Williams rushing yards O/U: 51.5
■ Vincent Bonsignore: Over — It’s a tandem in Denver, but Williams might have the hot hand.
■ Ed Graney: Over — Run it at Chandler Jones all afternoon?
■ Adam Hill: Over — The Broncos keep increasing his touch share. Take the over until the books have a chance to adjust.
■ Sam Gordon: Over — The bruising second-year back averages 58.7 rushing yards per game.
■ Heidi Fang: Over — I’m expecting him to hit about 65 yards.
