- Kickoff is Thursday at 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video, with Denver priced around -9 to -9.5 and the total near 42–43 after sharp action trimmed an opening double-digit spread.
- Denver enters 7-2 on a six-game win streak and nine straight home wins, leading the NFL with 40 sacks and excelling on third down and in red-zone defense.
- Cornerback Pat Surtain II will miss a second consecutive game with a pectoral injury as Dre Greenlaw and Talanoa Hufanga bolster Denver’s interior defense.
- Las Vegas is 2-6 following an overtime loss and has traded Jakobi Meyers, elevating roles for Tre Tucker and rookie Ashton Jeanty as Brock Bowers returns from injury off a 12-127-3 performance.
- Models project Denver as a clear favorite (Dimers gives a 78% win probability), though some forecasts note Raiders cover potential and identify moneyline value at longer odds.
