Denver Broncos at Las Vegas Raiders: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 4 matchup

Quarterback Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders return home for their Week 4 matchup as the favorites, despite starting the 2022 NFL season winless. Las Vegas looks to break that streak when they welcome Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos.

Wilson and Co. have had their own struggles under first-year coach Nathaniel Hackett, who despite some stumbles has led the Broncos to a 2-1 record. Can Denver keep it going on the road? Or will Carr, Davante Adams and Darren Waller finally earn a win for the Raiders? The game kicks off Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET from Allegiant Stadium.

Here's a look at the betting details and USA TODAY's NFL staff picks for the Broncos vs. Raiders Week 4 game:

Denver’s defense is quickly becoming one of the league’s better units, but the offense is still a mess. Nathaniel Hackett and Co. can’t seem to figure out how to unleash Russell Wilson. The Raiders, meanwhile, will certainly be feeling the pressure, so I’m counting on them playing with a little urgency as the only 0-3 team in the entire NFL.

The Raiders are due for a win, right? Right? It’s unfathomable to think this team, with new star receiver Davante Adams and new coach Josh McDaniels, is winless. They nearly tied in the final moments on the road last week against the Titans, but came up short and are the only winless team in the NFL. The Broncos are coming off a win of their own and might be the worst 2-1 team in the league based on their poor start. Look for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr to feed Adams early in this one and the Raiders to win their first game of the season.

Lance Pugmire: Broncos 24, Raiders 21

Something about Derek Carr and the red zone doesn’t seem to mix in high-pressure situations. And while it seems unfathomable that Las Vegas can start 0-4, until they prove they know how to win a close game, take Russell Wilson here.

Jarrett Bell: Raiders 24, Broncos 16

Nate Davis: Raiders 20, Broncos 16
