Raiders vs Broncos Best Bets

Game Totals PickBest Bet
Under 43.0(-115)

The Thursday night total is hovering around a few key numbers, notably higher than 37, 38, 40 and 41, which is interesting considering the two teams competing. On the one hand,  Denver’s offense can be explosive, as we saw in their 44-point decimation of the Cowboys two weeks ago or their 33-point fourth quarter against the Giants in Week 8. Against top-tier defenses we’ve seen them look below average, too. Against groups like the Texans, Chargers, Jets, and Eagles, they struggled to move the ball (averaged 285 yards per game). And the latter two defenses, although talented, haven’t been consistent at all this season. There’s certainly cause for concern, especially when it comes playoff time, but their opponent on Thursday is hardly a world-beater. Las Vegas’ defense ranks surprisingly stingy against the run (7th), permitting just 3.9 yards per carry, but in virtually every other category they’re among the worst. Against the pass, in opponent points per game, and whenever their enemy needs to gain a first down, the Raiders are in the bottom third percentile among all NFL teams.

We also expect the Raiders’ offense to regress. Their run-game is completely absent through nine weeks, ranking third-worst or lower in every major category, which means the Broncos’ elite defense can focus on rattling Geno Smith. No defense gets more sacks than Denver ( 11.87% of plays), and they’re among the stingiest in macro-stats, too, allowing only 18.4 points (4th) and 279.9 yards (3rd) per game). Brock Bowers, who’s clearly the star of the team, will likely see many targets, but Denver’s too buttoned up to allow another prolific repeat performance. Our choice is clear.

Point Spread Pick
DEN Broncos -8.5(-110)

Another week of NFL action hasn’t changed much about the trajectory of either of these programs. Denver, who continues to play their best football in the fourth quarter, escaped Houston this past Sunday in a low-scoring affair. The elite nature of the Broncos and Texans’ defenses were on full display, limiting each offense to just 15 first downs and under 300 total yards. Behind a valiant effort from Bo Nix, the Broncos scored 11 unanswered points in the final period and sealed a victory. Nix was far from his best throughout the game (18-37, 173 yards), but he engineered two drives (109 yards) that ended up being the difference late in the contest. The Denver defense had odd showings against the Giants and Cowboys, allowing more points than usual (56 combined in Weeks 7 and 8), and the Colts and Chargers found offensive success against them, too. In five games against offenses that more closely mirror the Raiders’ murky operation, Denver’s only permitted 10.6 points per game.

In an ugly affair that only diehard fans could enjoy, the Raiders nearly beat the Jaguars following their bye-week last Sunday, rolling right down the field against a good Jacksonville defense in overtime before failing on the two-point conversion. Most notable was the play of Brock Bowers, who returned from injury. Vegas’ all-star tight end may be the league’s best at the position. Bowers had 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns, unstoppable down the stretch and the biggest reason why the Raiders nearly won the game. Geno Smith also had his most productive and efficient game of the season, going 29-39 for 284 yards and four touchdowns. The Raiders still lacked a run game (57 total yards) and their defense couldn’t stop an average Jags’ offense when it counted, but at least their passing game showed some juice. Whether that’ll be enough to go into Denver and compete on a serious level remains to be seen.

No one knows if the Raiders can replicate their offensive performance in Week 9, but all prior indications suggest that’s not what’s about to happen. The Denver defense has exceeded expectations against poor offenses. Following a bye, now the Raiders are on a short week, on the road, and coming off a gutting loss at home. Maybe this game remains tight in its early stages, but we feel confidently that the home team will pull away.

Denver Broncos -9 over Las Vegas Raiders (-110)

Although I have never been a huge believer in the Broncos, I’m starting to come around. They are on a 5-game winning streak and have not yet lost at home this season. Bo Nix is following up his impressive rookie year with another stellar season, having accounted for 20 total touchdowns (17 passing, 3 rushing) while getting picked off just 3 times in the last 7 games (he previously had 3 INTs in the first 2 contests alone).

Most importantly, when it comes to this particular game, they are playing against the Raiders. Make no mistake about it – this team stinks. Head coach Pete Carroll’s squad seems to be getting worse as the season progresses, too. Las Vegas is 1-6 in its past 7 outings and its lone victory during this stretch has come against a lowly Tennessee outfit. The Raiders have lost by double digits 4 times already in 2025, including by 34 points to the Colts and by 31 to the Chiefs. They have won just 2 road games since Week 2 of last year. The visitors probably won’t come close to doing so on Thursday Night Football.

Under 42.5 (-102)

The combination of Las Vegas’ offense against Denver’s defense is a perfect recipe for the under to cash. In fact, the Broncos’ offense might have to do basically all of the work in order to take this game over the total. After all, it’s hard to see the Raiders doing much of anything. They got shut out by Kansas City in Week 8 and have scored in single digits on 2 other occasions in 2025. In a pair of regular-season losses to Denver last season, not once did Las Vegas reach the 20-point mark.

So far this year, the Broncos rank 3rd league-wide in total defense, 4th in scoring defense (18.4 points per game allowed), 6th in passing defense and 8th in rushing defense. They rank 1st in sacks by a country mile with 40 (no other team has more than 28). CB Pat Surtain II (pectoral) is out, but it hardly mattered during an 18-15 victory over the Texans this past weekend. Denver limited Houston QBs CJ Stroud and Davis Mills to a combined 191 yards through the air. The under is 3-1 in the Raiders’ last 4 overall, 7-1 in their last 8 on the road dating back to last season and 8-3 in the Broncos’ last 11 overall.

Geno Smith (LV) under 211.5 passing yards (-113)

Smith has been held to 180 passing yards or fewer in 4 of the last 7 games, including an inept 67 yards by the Chiefs last month. Moreover, expect the Raiders to run the ball as much as possible on Thursday Night Football. As heavy underdogs, they will want to shorten the game, keep the clock moving and limit the total number of possessions. That’s not to say they’ll be able to do it… but they’ll try. Despite using its 2025 first-round draft pick on RB Ashton Jeanty, Las Vegas is getting next to nothing from the rushing attack. As a result, opposing defenses can drop guys back in coverage to focus on keeping Smith’s air attack under wraps.
