Comeback Kings Seek Complete Game as 7–2 Broncos Battle Raiders
DENVER — The Denver Broncos are chasing their seventh straight win — and the NFL’s first eight-win record — when they host the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM ET at Empower Field at Mile High, broadcast on Prime Video.
Denver (7–2) has become the league’s most resilient team, winning four of its last six games after trailing in the fourth quarter. Now, quarterback Bo Nix and company want to prove they can play a complete 60-minute game instead of relying on late-game magic.

Matchup Breakdown
The Broncos enter as one of the hottest teams in football, while the Raiders continue to flounder under first-year coach Pete Carroll, losing six of their last seven.
Bo Nix has thrown for 1,976 yards and 17 touchdowns, leading an offense ranked first in passing TDs. He’s also become known for his composure under pressure — rallying Denver from deficits against the Eagles, Jets, Giants, and Texans during their six-game streak.
“We’ve heard about the win streak,” Nix said this week. “But we’re focused on fixing our mistakes. We haven’t played our best football yet.”
Receiver Courtland Sutton praised his quarterback’s poise: “He’s a gamer. When Bo’s back there, we know we’ve got a chance to win.”
Denver’s defense, anchored by Zach Allen and Talanoa Hufanga, continues to rank near the top in sacks and opponent scoring, allowing fewer than 18 points per game.

Raiders Search for Stability
Las Vegas (2–6) nearly pulled off an upset in Week 9 before falling 30–29 in overtime to Jacksonville. The Raiders went for the win on a two-point conversion, but DaVon Hamilton batted down Geno Smith’s pass at the line of scrimmage.
Carroll defended the aggressive call: “It was the right play. Lockett was open — we just got the ball knocked down.”
The lone bright spot was Brock Bowers, who erupted for 12 catches, 127 yards, and three touchdowns — the first Raiders tight end since Todd Christensen (1986) to do so.
Still, the offense remains inconsistent, and the midweek trade of Jakobi Meyers to Jacksonville leaves a void in the receiving corps. Offensive coordinator Chip Kelly acknowledged that production will have to come “from multiple guys.”

Best Bets and Prediction
The Broncos’ confidence at home and late-game resilience make them dangerous against a struggling Raiders squad still searching for rhythm. Denver’s defense should dominate the line of scrimmage, while Nix continues his efficient play.
Las Vegas will need another massive performance from Bowers and a cleaner effort from Geno Smith to stay close — but their offense has been too inconsistent on the road.
Projected Final Score: Broncos 28, Raiders 17
Best Bets: Broncos -9.0 | Over 42.5
