Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Denver Broncos vs Las Vegas Raiders is a AFC West rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: Denver Broncos at 88% to Las Vegas Raiders's 12%, spread DEN -6.5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#14 vs #29), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Denver Broncos will want to lean on shutdown corner to attack Las Vegas Raiders, whose qB room is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Las Vegas Raiders's star young TE could punish Denver Broncos if wR depth goes unaddressed. It is the kind of trade-off decided in the margins: third down, the trenches, and the turnover battle.
Keep an eye on Bo Nix (QB) and Brock Bowers (TE): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Broncos get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
