Key Storylines
- The Broncos have a 7-2 record and are on a six-game winning streak. They’re playing at home, where they remain undefeated at 4-0 this season. Denver looks to extend their lead over the Kansas City Chiefs by taking advantage of this game.
- The Raiders are 2-6, struggling with consistency. On the road, they are 1-3, and turnovers have been a significant issue all season.
- After a narrow 30-29 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, the Raiders face a tough challenge on a short week against one of the league’s hottest teams.
- While this game appears one-sided on paper, being a division rivalry, it could be unpredictable due to the teams’ familiarity with each other.
Quarterback Play
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix has been reliable, with 1,976 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and six interceptions. Nix can also make plays on the ground when needed.
Raiders quarterback Geno Smith has struggled with interceptions, having 1,701 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and a league-high 11 interceptions. For the Raiders to have a chance, Smith must improve ball security.
Betting Trends
- The Broncos are 4-4-1 against the spread heading into Week 10.
- The Raiders are 3-5 against the spread this season.
- Denver has gone under the total in six of their nine games.
- The Raiders are 3-5 on their totals this season.
Raiders vs Broncos Model Projection
Score Projection: Raiders 10 – Broncos 27
Win Probability: Raiders 25%, Broncos 75%
Final Thoughts
The Las Vegas Raiders have made too many mistakes to be competitive this season. Last week, they lost narrowly to a Jaguars team with an under-the-weather Trevor Lawrence. Given Geno Smith’s turnover issues, it’s difficult to see them keeping up with the Broncos, especially on a short week. I’m picking Denver to start Week 10 with a win in the NFL.
