The second AFC West battle ensues between the Broncos and Raiders on Sunday in Las Vegas.
Denver is 6-5 on the season and coming off a dominating home win versus Atlanta (38-6) that broke a two-game losing streak. The Broncos have lost two straight road games after three consecutive road wins. Bo Nix has thrown for at least 200 passing yards in four straight games and six of the past seven, while the Broncos defense held six of seven opponents to 23 or fewer points.
Las Vegas is 2-8 this year and lost six straight games. Only two of the six straight losses have come by seven or fewer points. The Raiders are back to Gardner Minshew at QB for the time being, but the rushing attack has been the major problem as WR Jakobi Meyers led Las Vegas in rushing last week (20 yards).

Game odds for Raiders vs. Broncos
The latest odds as of Saturday courtesy of DraftKings:
Moneyline: Denver Broncos (-245), Las Vegas Raiders (+200)
Spread: Broncos -5.5 (-110)
Total: 41.5
Denver has received money to push the spread from -4.5 to -5.5 but home underdogs get money in divisional matchups, so expect this to move back toward Las Vegas. The preseason line for this game was Las Vegas -3, and despite Bo Nix and the Broncos’ defensive play, the spread speaks more to the dismay of the Raiders.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the first quarter Under 7.5 between the Raiders and Broncos:
“Denver had five of their six first quarters go Under the 7.5- O/U point mark on the road this year and I think there will be another at Las Vegas.
Denver is coming off a big win against Atlanta, while the Raiders continue their slide. Las Vegas is getting desperate and could surprise people in this spot, but that offense cannot be trusted, especially since the run game is at an all-time low.
The Raiders got out to a 10-0 lead on the Broncos in Denver, but the Broncos came back to win that contest 34-18. Denver will want to shut down Las Vegas early and I think the Raiders could give Bo Nix fits once again. I like the first quarter Under 7.5 points at -130 odds.”
