The Denver Broncos host the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football in a crucial AFC West showdown, kicking off November 6 at Empower Field at Mile High.

Denver enters with serious momentum, riding a six-game winning streak and boasting one of the NFL’s most disruptive pass rushes.

In contrast, the Raiders aim to reverse a recent defensive slide, searching for a statement win on a short week as road underdogs.​ In addition, just yesterday Las Vegas dealt Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars for 2026 4th- and 6th-round picks, removing a high-volume target from Geno Smith’s arsenal which Tyler Lockett recently joined.

Bookmakers currently favor the Broncos by 9.5 points, with a strong win probability. Denver’s defense ranks first in the league with 40 sacks, while Las Vegas has struggled to contain opposing run games - allowing over 122 rushing yards per contest in their last six games.​

How Injuries Could Impact Thursday Night’s Game

For the Raiders, Brock Bowers returned with a huge performance last week from a knee injury, and should continue to be a top target for Geno Smith, especially now that Jakobi Meyers has been traded.

For the Broncos, Marvin Mims’ concussion and subsequent absence disrupts the Denver Broncos' dynamic in two major phases: as an explosive deep-threat receiver and a dangerous return specialist. His inability to play in Week 9, and tentative status going into Thursday, means Denver loses not just big-play potential through the air but special-teams edge.

Meanwhile, Patrick Surtain’s pectoral strain presents a significant blow to the Broncos’ defense: the reigning DPOY was key to their shutdown schemes, and his absence forces Denver to shuffle corners and trust less experienced backups. He is likely out multiple weeks, potentially eroding the secondary’s strength at a critical juncture of the season.

As Denver seeks to extend its win streak, all signs point to the Broncos leveraging defensive pressure, home field advantage and additional preparation time.
