Former Raiders star blasts Broncos
Digest more
br/>The division-leading Broncos have won six games in a row since a 1-2 start, with four of those victories coming in fourth-quarter comebacks. The Raiders have lost six of their last seven, including an overtime defeat to the Jaguars in which their game-winning two-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful.
If the divisional clash goes anything like the Raiders' last two road games, things could get ugly. In Week 6, Carroll's team traveled to Indianapolis and suffered a 40-6 blowout loss against the Colts -- their largest loss in four years. Two weeks later, the Chiefs handed Las Vegas their largest shutout loss since 2014 with a 31-0 result.

The Panthers went back to a backfield split in Week 7 with Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard. However, Dowdle still finished with 79 yards on 17 carries, and he gets a Bills defense Sunday that is giving up a league-worst 5.8 yards per carry. Plus, Dowdle has been one of the most explosive runners I've watched on tape this season. -- Bowen
