LV Raiders vs. DEN Broncos Game Day Preview

Week 10 kicks off in Denver as the Broncos host the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. The AFC West rivals are trending in opposite directions — Denver (7–2) is riding a league-best six-game winning streak and an active nine-game home winning streak, while Las Vegas (2–6) continues to search for answers under new head coach Pete Carroll.

The Broncos come in as heavy favorites behind one of the league’s most balanced rosters. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix has been efficient in late-game situations, and Sean Payton’s defense leads the NFL in sacks (40) while allowing just 18.4 points per game — fourth best in the league. For the Raiders, Geno Smith is coming off his best statistical performance of the year but will face a significant challenge against this elite pass rush.

With Denver chasing the AFC’s top seed and Las Vegas desperate to stop the slide, this Week 10 showdown at Mile High should deliver plenty of energy — and perhaps a few more answers about how far both franchises are from where they want to be.

Las Vegas Raiders

2025 Record: 2-6 (4th AFC West)
2025 Road Record: 1-3
2025 ATS Record: 3-5
StatementGames NFL Power Ranking: 28

The Las Vegas Raiders enter Week 10 at a crossroads. Under new head coach Pete Carroll, the team has struggled to find consistency, losing five of its last six and falling to 2–6 after a heartbreaking 30–29 overtime loss to Jacksonville. Veteran quarterback Geno Smith delivered his best outing of the year in that defeat, throwing for 284 yards and four touchdowns, but turnovers and missed opportunities continue to define this offense.

Rookie tight end Brock Bowers remains a focal point, emerging as Smith’s most trusted target, while running back Ashton Jeanty continues to fight for traction behind an offensive line that’s struggled to open lanes. Defensively, Maxx Crosby sets the tone with relentless effort, yet the unit has been inconsistent — allowing over 26 points per game and ranking near the bottom in red-zone efficiency.

Carroll has publicly called for “more creativity” in play-calling and a greater commitment to Jeanty in the run game, signaling potential adjustments for Thursday night. Against a surging Denver team, the Raiders will need near-perfect execution to avoid their seventh loss in eight games.

Denver Broncos

2025 Record: 7-2 (1st AFC West)
2025 Home Record: 4-0
2025 ATS Record: 4-5
StatementGames NFL Power Ranking: 9

The Denver Broncos enter Week 10 as one of the hottest teams in football, riding a six-game winning streak and leading the AFC West. Head coach Sean Payton has the group locked in, with rookie quarterback Bo Nix showing poise beyond his years — particularly in late-game situations. Denver’s latest win, an 18–15 comeback over Houston, marked its ninth straight home victory and reinforced the team’s growing reputation for resilience.

Defensively, Denver has been dominant. The Broncos lead the NFL with 40 sacks, allowing just 18.4 points per game, and rank among the top five in both rushing and total defense. Dre Greenlaw anchors a front seven that’s been nearly impossible to run against, holding opponents to 85.7 rushing yards per game. Offensively, Nix continues to manage the game effectively, while Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr. provide explosive playmaking on the perimeter.

Though injuries remain a minor concern — with Pat Surtain II and Marvin Mims Jr. both limited in practice — Denver’s overall depth and balance make it a legitimate AFC contender. A win on Thursday would extend the Broncos’ home streak to ten and further cement their place among the conference’s elite.
