Raiders vs Broncos Predictions, Best Bets, Props & Odds for Thursday Night Football

It’s a tale of two seasons on Thursday Night Football: the 7-2 Broncos welcome the 2-6 Raiders. Denver comes in as a hefty -9 favorite, with the Over/Under at 43.

We get into which player props standout and what bets to take on in our Raiders vs. Broncos predictions for November 6.

So without further ado, let's get right to business.

Raiders vs Broncos TNF predictions

• Broncos -9 (-105 at bet365)
• Under 43 (-110 at bet365)
• Bowers anytime TD (+190 at bet365)
• Sutton o53.5 receiving yards (-110 at bet365)

Raiders vs Broncos TNF best bets

Broncos -9

-105 at bet365

The Raiders have been outclassed by stronger teams, suffering several lopsided losses on the road, while the Broncos have dominated at home with eight straight wins. With Denver’s top-ranked defense matching up against a Raiders offense that ranks near the bottom of the league, another decisive Broncos victory looks likely.

/Under 43

-110 at bet365

Both defenses have shown promise lately, with the Raiders quietly ranking fifth in yards per play allowed over the last three games and the Broncos giving up just 18.4 points per game. Given Denver’s defensive consistency and Geno Smith looking severely washed, a lower-scoring game wouldn’t be surprising.

Raiders vs Broncos TNF TD picks

Brock Bowers anytime TD

+190 at bet365

So, I think it's safe to say the Las Vegas Raiders missed Brock Bowers. The star TE finally returned from injury in Week 9, and all he did was put up a 12/127/3 stat line against the Jags.

The Denver Broncos defense will assuredly be a step up from that of JAX, but Vegas has enough weapons on offense to find a score or two.

At +190, I can't pass up on Bowers. He led the Raiders in targets last week with 13, and now that Jakobi Meyers is out of town, Geno Smith will have to rely on the young stud even more.

Pat Surtain is also yet to practice this week, which could leave a big hole in Denver's secondary for a second straight game. Yes, the Texans failed to score a touchdown, but that was with backup QB Davis Mills at the helm for the majority of the game. The offense looked more fluent in CJ Stroud's limited snaps.

I also think this game won't be as close, with Smith having to throw to 40 times yet again. Bowers is too good to contain all game long, and he and Geno will link up in the end zone for the fourth time in two games.

Courtland Sutton Over 53.5 receiving yards (-110)

-110 at bet365

The Las Vegas Raiders are getting chewed up by opposing wide receivers, and I expect Courtland Sutton and Bo Nix to take full advantage.

Las Vegas is allowing 165 yards per game to the wide receiver position, which is one of the worst marks in the NFL.

Sutton has been reliable, going Over 53.5 receiving yards in six of nine games, including all four Denver Broncos home games, where he’s averaged 74.

This line has been set in the high 50s and into the 60s in most games for Sutton in 2025, so 53.5 looks like a great buy-low spot and is perhaps an overreaction to Sutton’s one catch, 30-yard performance last week against the Texans, who have one of the better defenses in the NFL.

In his most recent game against the Raiders in November 2024, Sutton had one of his better games of the season, hauling in eight catches for 97 yards.

Also working in favor of this receiving prop is that attacking Las Vegas through the air is clearly the easiest path to success against them, as they’ve been quite solid against the run, coming in tied for sixth in yards per rush attempt allowed.

With Nix throwing a lot and the Raiders being vulnerable through the air, this sets up as a prime spot for Sutton to clear his yardage total once again.
