Well I regret this already.

If week 12 wasn't so tough, I would've gone with Seattle this week, as I had a bad feeling about the Broncos. But there was no way not to given what I have going forward.

Denver with their usual slow start, to say the least. Raiders move the ball upfield, then Denver actually does something right and stops it on the 44 or so, and Raiders punt. Ends up on the 2, Broncos can't push it across on the first possession (they end up 4th and 1), and they make a terrible kick to leave it on their own 41.

Raiders then drive right through to make a TD. Then another terrible 4-and-out, and it's back in LV's hands near the end of the 1st.

With Denver's offensive woes recently, every point they fall behind looks monstrous.

Sometimes I wonder how this team is considered a contender.

Also I hate that this is on Prime Video.

Honest question, why?

Assuming you are watching so why does it matter? Announcers?

Got lucky. 38 yard rush by Jeanty but a stupid offensive hold which had nothing to do with the play ended up causing an 8 yard loss instead.

But I really hate how Denver looks so far.

I just put a fairly large live bet -2.5 -105 on Denver. I’ll out more if they give up more points and I can get a plus money spot. So if you go down you’ll have company. I’ll still be happy for you if for some reason they win by 1. They start slow. They’ll get it going.

No, I just like turning it on at any TV and watching.

I hate having to deal with connecting the game to the TV because of these dumb streaming services. At least I have Prime. The Apple+ shit is worse when MLB does it.

Seriously this is a comedy of errors. Second bad punt in a row, this one even worse than the first one.

Broncos still haven't achieved a first down.

Amazing how nothing falls your way in a bad game.

A Raiders punt bounced 1 foot from the endzone and somehow went off to the side and didn't go across. So the Broncos start again all the way back, instead of on the 20. That's what caused them to give up the TD in the 1st.

2h line is LVS+6 o/u 20.5

my god at the flags.

This game is a comedy of errors and terrible offense.

If I didn't have my Survivor on this, I would have turned it off a long time ago.

Broncos defense has been good. That's about all I can say. Both teams are otherwise playing like shit, and... lol @ Crawshaw's kicks in the first half. Crowd actually sarcastically cheered for him when he made a decent punt.

This Broncos team is not good. They're 7-2 thanks to an easy schedule and a few lucky squeakers which fell their way. I hope they can pull it out. At this point I'm rooting for LV to be the more terrible of the two.

"Of course there's a flag, I could've told you that before the snap"

:lol


What a terrible game.

and another tipped ball for an interception. gg

If these were competent teams, that FG attempt would've been good, especially with the wind having died down.

Fortunately it wasn't, so it remains 10-7.

How did I not bet the under here? I was very aware that Denver has struggled lately on offense and Vegas just has shit offense all around.

Never in doubt Druff!

Wind was rough. Ugly.

i had the under and like a true degen teased both teams so it covered all the way around for me.

also covered under 2nd half and lvs +6. i'm not usually this lucky, so that can only mean Verm went the other way.



dd you got your one-time this week. good for you, but that could/should have gone the other way.

In my defense, as bad as the Broncos were, the Raiders were also awful and made a lot of dumb mistakes and bad plays.

But yeah, overall I'd still say the Raiders played better (by a little).

Imagine the people who now have to take Denver AT Las Vegas! GL to them!

Next week is going to be very tough because I don't have NE to use.

Pittsburgh at home vs Cincy is my most likely move, but at least I have 9 days to think about it.



This is now my farthest ticket in my 3-season Survivor history.

Had 3 tickets as part of a PFA group in 2023, 2 died early, final died on Week 10.

Had 10 tickets myself in 2024, all 10 were out by week 3, in an early season full of carnage.

Had 6 tickets in 2025, 5 croaked in week 3 (bad week for me all three years), and now I've made Week 11. So this is officially my first time in the Circa Survivor second half (since there are 2 additional picks on Thanksgiving and Christmas).
