The Denver Broncos take their six-game win streak into Thursday Night Football where they will host the hated Las Vegas Raiders. This game has a ‘trap’ feel to it with the all-important home matchup next week against the Kansas City Chiefs looming. Denver absolutely needs this win to keep their momentum rolling and the closer they get to double-digit wins before their Bye week the better it will be for them in the final stretch of the season.

I don’t see a blowout in this game. The defense is going to be worn a bit from Sunday’s slugfest and that might give the Raiders some big play opportunities in the game. That said, the Raiders do kind of stink and that should give the Broncos offense some chances in this game. At the end of the day, I think they prevail, but it surely won’t be covering the large spread for this game. – Tim Lynch
The Raiders have always been trash and will continue to be trash on Thursday night. The Broncos will drop kick them into next Tuesday with extreme prejudice. – Sadaraine
The Raiders are down one of their best offensive weapons, leaving the Broncos with mostly just two guys to have to deal with. Geno Smith has been awful and both him and his offensive line have given up the sixth-most sacks in the league. Their rushing attack is minimal because Ashton Jeanty gets hit in the backfield constantly and their run defense is average at best. The Broncos beat them in every matchup on paper and that should translate to the field. And FWIW, we all remember the last time these two teams faced off while the Broncos donned the Orange Crush uniforms. – Ross Allen
The Broncos’ defense notches their 5th game of the season with zero TDs allowed. Vance Joseph emphasizes coralling Brock Bowers, leaving Geno Smith & company too much to do with too little talent to do it. Denver’s offense gets back into rhythm as well, with an easier matchup on the heels of last week’s challenge against the Texans’ defense. Nix & company score 4 TDs total- 2 on the ground, 2 in the air- as the Broncos match their 7-game winning streak from 2015. – Taylor Kothe
This is a game where I believe the Broncos are finally going to force some turnovers. The Raiders have given up the ball at one of the highest rates in the NFL season and Geno Smith has really struggled to date. Without Jakobi Meyers, who was traded, they will be down to just two weapons in Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers. I’m optimistic Vance Joseph will be able to call a game that limits their impact. Moreover, I think the offense turns things around this week and Bo Nix and company perform much better. -Chris Hart
We head into a Thursday night game with the Broncos on a significant win streak, and the Raiders continuing a slide into irrelevance. This really shouldn’t be a contest, but footballs are shaped oddly, and sometimes bounce funny. Not going to be an issue against Las Vegas. JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey are going to have a huge game. The defense will terrorize Geno Smith and could add another big number to their league leading sack total. – Adam Malnati
Obviously I have no clue what the score will be TNF, but the Broncos should win this game and remain at the top of the AFC West standings. The defense will limit the big plays of Bowers and shut down Jeanty, while the offense will run the ball and get some big plays through the air. In the word of the late Al Davis, just win, baby! Whatever it takes. And the Broncos do that in their throwback classic helmets and jerseys. – Ian St. Clair
