Derek Carr vs. Teddy Bridgewater - Who Will Have More Passing Yards in Raiders vs. Broncos?

Las Vegas Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr averages 321 passing yards per game and throws against the Denver Broncos’ 4th-ranked passing defense (222.8 passing yards per game) in Week 6. Carr threw for only 206 yards last week against the Chicago Bears.

Meanwhile, Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is averaging 236 passing yards per game this season and faces the Raiders' 3rd-ranked passing defense (217.2 passing yards per game) this week. Bridgewater ended Week 5 with 288 yards against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Both teams match up in Denver with the Broncos as 5-point favorites and a total of 44 points.

So which quarterback will throw for more yards this week: Carr or Bridgewater?

WynnBET Sportsbook has Carr’s passing yards prop set at 261.5 yards (over -125/under -115) and Bridgewater’s passing yards prop set at 246.5 yards (over -125/under -115).

Here’s how both quarterbacks stack up statistically:

Denver’s defense has some decent numbers, but they may be artificially low after playing against the New York Giants, Jacksonville Jaguars, and New York Jets in the first three games. The Broncos allowed Lamar Jackson to throw for 316 yards in Week 4 and Ben Roethlisberger to throw for 253 yards in Week 5.

After all of the noise around Jon Gruden’s departure, I think Carr will put Las Vegas on his shoulders. The Raiders’ rushing offense has been non-existent up to this point, and I don’t see that changing in Week 6.

Las Vegas’ rushing defense is allowing 134.4 rushing yards per game, so Denver will bring a heavy dose of the running back combo of Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams.

Carr will have more passing yards than Bridgewater in Week 6.
