Will the Broncos remain undefeated at home?
Thursday Night is AFC West Night with our Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders tip! However, both teams are coming into the game with completely different prospects. The Broncos have won their last six games, while the Raiders come to Denver on the back of two consecutive defeats.
Speaking of Denver, the Broncos are still undefeated (4-0) at Mile High Stadium, and last season they lost only two games at home. Last October, the home team even won the game against the Raiders 34-18.
So, of course, the Broncos are once again the clear favorites on Thursday. This is only reinforced by the Raiders’ recent away performances. Las Vegas has lost its last three away games by at least 17 points – on average, by 27.3 points.
This does not bode well for Thursday, and our prediction for Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders is a clear home win for the Broncos. After their recent narrow and somewhat lucky victory against the Texans, the game against the Raiders should not remain exciting until the final seconds.
Kick-off for Thursday Night Football is at 2:15 a.m. in Denver on Friday morning. This first game of NFL Week 10 will be broadcast live on the DAZN streaming service.
Denver Broncos – Las Vegas Raiders Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
After years of being the Broncos’ nemesis, the Raiders were finally defeated by Denver in the preseason, with Denver winning both games against Las Vegas by a clear margin (34:18 and 29:19). We expect a similar result again on Thursday.
Currently, there is a world of difference between the two teams, not only in the standings but also in terms of their current form. The Broncos have won their last six games, while the Raiders have lost five of their last six.
Therefore, in Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders, the odds on Denver are playable in every respect. We see Denver -9.5 as a good option as a handicap, as the Raiders often lose by a large margin when playing away. In addition, the Broncos are very good against the run and will therefore be able to take Ashton Jeanty out of the game.
Once the game is in Geno Smith’s hands, the Broncos will have achieved their goal. With eleven interceptions, he leads the league in this regard.
Denver Broncos – Las Vegas Raiders Tip
The Broncos allow only 279.9 yards per game overall, and we doubt that the toothless Raiders offense will be able to surpass that number. They won’t be able to score many touchdowns, which also brings field goal bets into play.
Since the Broncos also have a reliable kicker in Wil Lutz, the game could well start with a field goal. Nevertheless, our absolute tip recommendation for Thursday’s Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders game is Broncos -9.5. We would be very surprised if this game were still close in the final minute.
As a player bet, the focus is naturally on a Broncos player: Courtland Sutton. He has already scored four touchdowns this season and should be able to add to that against the Raiders. A TD bet on Sutton is therefore another betting alternative with interesting Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders betting odds.
