Raiders vs Broncos Game Analysis
The Broncos and Raiders have experienced two different outcomes this season so far, even defying the initial odds and critics who thought the Raiders’ season could be a prosperous one with the additions of coach Carroll and QB Geno Smith; however, their current record is 2-6, while Denver’s record is 6-2.
The Denver Broncos started the season with a win over the Titans, 20-12, but then lost two consecutive games (and the only ones so far) against the Colts, 29-28, and the Chargers, 23-20. Ever since, they have only known victory after victory against the Bengals, Eagles, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, and Texans last Sunday. Part of this success relies on his young quarterback, Bo Nix, who registered a 61.2% completion percentage, with 1,976 passing yards, for a total of 17 passing TD for an 88.5 rating in just nine games, including three rushing yards.
On the other hand, the Las Vegas Raiders have only won twice in Week 1, against the Patriots (13-20) and the Titans (20-10) in Week 6. The rest of their schedule only registered losses against the Chargers, Commanders, Bears, Colts, Chiefs, and Jaguars. Two of the most unusual losses of this NFL season occurred to the Raiders against the Bears (25-24) when their 54-FG attempt was blocked with 0:34 left in the fourth quarter, and last Sunday against the Jaguars (29-30), when they decided to go for a 2-point conversion instead of tying the game.
Raiders vs Broncos Through the Years
The Raiders lead the series against the Broncos 72-55-2. Their first matchup occurred in 1960, when the Oklahoma Raiders lost 31-14, a fate similar to their last encounter, which saw the Denver Broncos defeat the Las Vegas Raiders 29-19 on November 24, 2024.
For those who believe in signs, here’s an interesting one: Pete Carroll has never managed to win a game in Denver, holding a 0-4 record there.
Raiders vs Broncos Final Score Forecast
Which team will win the NFL Week 10 game on Thursday Night Football? The good news for the Las Vegas Raiders is that their TE Brock Bowers is healthy and can perform a great match. The bad news is that the Denver Broncos have been a demolition machine week after week, and it doesn’t seem to have changed this Thursday Night Football.
Additionally, WR Jakobi Meyers was traded to the Jaguars in a last-minute deal. Our prediction at PayPerHead is the Raiders 29-38 Broncos. Who’s your pick?
