Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The bet on Courtland Sutton to score an anytime touchdown in the Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders game seems to be a risky proposition based on Sutton's recent performance and hit rates. Sutton has not scored in his last three overall games (0/3) nor in his last three home games (0/3). Furthermore, his overall hit rate in the last ten games is 0/10 and in the last 20 games is 5/20, indicating a low score rate. However, there is a slightly better success rate against the Raiders, with a hit rate of 3/6 in the last ten games, and a current hit streak of 1, suggesting some success against this specific opponent. But, his at-home stats against Las Vegas do not inspire confidence (1/3 in the last three and ten games, 1/3 overall). In conclusion, the statistics suggest Sutton scoring a touchdown in this game is a long shot, even considering his moderate success against the

The betting rationale for Courtland Sutton to score a touchdown in Denver Broncos game against Las Vegas Raiders relies on a few key statistics. Despite a low overall hit rate in his last 5 and 10 games (0/5 and 0/10), Sutton's performance against Las Vegas has been stronger, with a hit rate of 3/6 in his last 10 games against them. In addition, Sutton's hit rate at home is slightly more favorable at 3/10 in his last 10 home games. However, it's important to note that his hit rate against Las Vegas at home is lower at 1/3. Given these statistics, Sutton's chances of scoring a touchdown should be considered within the context of his past performance against the Raiders as well as his performance at home. Despite his recent lack of touchdowns, his stronger historical performance against Las Vegas could still make this a worthwhile bet.
