Oakland Raiders vs Denver Broncos NFL Week 15 Picks: Just when Raider Nation was beginning to feel good about their team with quarterback Bruce Gradkowski at the helm of the offense, he went down with what could be a season-ending injury. "It's basically day to day, week to week, but I'm definitely trying to get back for the Cleveland game (on Dec. 27)," Gradkowski said. "That's in my mind, and we'll work hard this week and try to get well."
This week, the (4-9) Oakland Raiders [+14] will be paying a visit to a very old and hated rival, as they travel to the Mile High City to take on the sports betting odds favorite (8-5) Denver Broncos [-14] on Sunday. These AFC West rivals are set to kick it off at 4:10 PM ET live from INVESCO Field.
On Wednesday, head coach Tom Cable needed to make a decision, weather to start second string quarterback JaMarcus Russell or third-stringer Charlie Frye. "As the coach, I want to do what I think is best for this team, and that's Charlie Frye," Cable said. "It gives us the best opportunity to win. You watch Charlie every day and his preparation, he just certainly deserves the opportunity."
In a move that didn’t come to a surprise to most, Cable opted to start fifth-year, well-traveled man, Charlie Frye on Sunday rather than former No.1 overall pick. According to Cable, Russell will be the No.2 guy and newly signed J.P. Losman would be their third option.
"It will be good to get back out there with the offense and run some plays that aren't on cards," Frye jokingly said. "I've got a lot of fire in me. I've been that crutch and that supportive guy all season, so now it's my turn to be the fiery leader."
