Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos 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 78% to Las Vegas Raiders's 22%, spread DEN -4. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#29 vs #14), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, Las Vegas Raiders will want to lean on star young TE to attack Denver Broncos, whose skill talent is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Denver Broncos's stingy defense could punish Las Vegas Raiders if roster 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 Brock Bowers (TE) and Bo Nix (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. Raiders get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
