Denver Broncos: 3 Bold predictions vs. Raiders in Week 4
By Bruce Matson
2. C.J. Anderson Is Ready To Roll
After just rushing for 36 yards on eight carries last week, C.J. Anderson is going to be ready to roll this week against the Raiders and he will surpass the 100-yard mark this week. The team only handed the ball off 17 times to the running backs last week and look for that number to increase drastically this week. Denver will look to get back on track by establishing the run and controlling the clock. Anderson will benefit from this by getting an increased workload.

He has been very efficient this season, rushing for 4.05 yards per carry or more in every game this season. Anderson is going to receive more than enough touches in this game and he should be able to churn out yards at will. He will also be effective in the passing game, catching a few balls out of the backfield to help the team move the ball downfield.
Anderson should score at least one touchdown in this game, if not two. Oakland can’t stack the box, because if they do, they will eaten alive by Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders in the passing game, therefore Anderson should have plenty of open lanes to run through.
Bold Prediction: C.J. Anderson will rush for 100-yards and score at least one touchdown
