Broncos Host Raiders on Thursday Night Football With Denver a 9-Point Favorite

Market confidence rests on Denver's elite defense despite injuries in the secondary.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at Empower Field, streaming nationally on Amazon Prime with regional ABC broadcasts in the Denver and Las Vegas markets.
  • Denver enters 7-2 on a six-game win streak, allowing 18.4 points per game and the NFL’s lowest red-zone touchdown rate.
  • An estimated Broncos injury report listed CB Pat Surtain II (pectoral) as a non-participant and WR Marvin Mims in concussion protocol, prompting secondary and special-teams adjustments.
  • Las Vegas traded WR Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville and gets TE Brock Bowers back following a 12-catch, 127-yard, three-touchdown outing against the Jaguars.
  • Betting markets price Denver around -9 to -9.5 with a total near 42.5, and many previews lean Broncos and the under for this short-week divisional game.
