Thursday Night Football heads to the Mile High City in Week 10 as the Denver Broncos (7-2) host the Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) in an AFC West divisional matchup.
After starting the season 1-2, the Bo Nix and the Broncos enter the week riding a six-game winning streak that has vaulted them to the top of the AFC West and to a tie with Indianapolis and New England for the best record in the NFL. The Broncos have not won seven straight games in a single season since 2015, when they finished 12-4 and went on to win Super Bowl 50 with Peyton Manning at QB. As they did back in 2015, Denver boasts one of the league’s top defenses. Five of Denver’s seven wins this season have been by one score. They have won four games when trailing in the 4th quarter and both of their losses this season came on field goals as time expired.
Life has not gone as well in Vegas for Pete Carroll and the Raiders. Losers of six of their last seven, the Raiders are the only team in the stacked AFC West with a losing record. The former Seahawks’ coach Carroll reunited in the offseason with Geno Smith but the pair have not recreated the success they enjoyed for much of their time in Seattle. The team simply struggles to score. At 16.5 points per game, only three teams are averaging fewer points per game than Vegas.
Denver won both games against Las Vegas last season, completing their first season sweep over the Raiders since 2014.
Lets dive into the numbers a bit deeper and see if we can find an advantage or two.
