Raiders vs. Broncos Predictions, Picks & Odds: Thursday Night Football Week 10
If you’re hoping for a Thursday Night Football game that is likely to have late-game heroics, then one involving the Broncos is exactly what you want. Their last-second field-goal win this past Sunday was only the latest; let’s not forget about their historic 33-point fourth quarter just two weeks prior.
As for this most recent victory, they were also the beneficiaries of Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud exiting the game with a concussion and not returning. At the same time, the Raiders haven’t exactly shown to have elite QB play either, as Geno Smith’s INTs have been league-leading, and they too just had an overtime thriller!
So, where should we focus our Raiders vs. Broncos predictions for TNF? Outside of Geno, the Raiders have notable young studs like Ashton Jeanty and Brock Bowers, the latter returned from injury to score a quick TD on Sunday (and two more!). As for Denver, their RB duo of JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey is going to need to step up.
You’ll see exactly why we say that as we fully dive into the best bet from our Raiders vs. Broncos predictions. One last thing before we do, be sure to also check out our NFL best bets for Thursday Night Football.

Raiders vs. Broncos Best Bet: Bo Nix Over 1.5 Passing TDs (-119 at Novig Sportsbook)
As lackluster as the Raiders have been this season, there is one thing that they have been able to hang their hats on. That would be their run defense, ranking fourth in the entire NFL in terms of defensive EPA per rush. They put that on full display for their fans on Sunday, holding Travis Etienne to just 36 yards until nearly the start of the fourth quarter.
While Denver RB JK Dobbins didn’t find the endzone with his 15 carries for 61 yards, RJ Harvey did through the air, along with 51 yards on five catches. Again, with the run defense easily being the Raiders’ biggest strength, they’re going to need to step up if that’s where you want to focus your Raiders vs. Broncos predictions.
If you ended up checking out the link above, you’ll see that we expect a huge game for Bo Nix instead. We’re going to add to the plus-money odds from that premium pick with multiple TD passes, which the Auburn/Oregon product has now done in three straight games. Similarly, he did the same in his rookie season against the Raiders.
In BOTH games against Las Vegas last year, Bo Nix had two TD passes, which helped them end the streak of eight straight losses to the Raiders by winning both matchups. You could even consider another huge payout with Evan Engram to find the endzone, who is surprisingly poised for a big game.
We’ll save you from that full breakdown and add to the premium picks with the best bet from our Raiders vs. Broncos predictions on Bo Nix over 1.5 passing TDs (-119 at Novig Sportsbook).
