The Broncos had a tough start to the season, losing to the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers. However, rookie Bo Nix found some rhythm in Week 3, leading to a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last week, the offense stumbled once again, but the defense stood tall against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets. Despite Denver only reaching the endzone once, it was enough to come away with a 10-9 win. The goal for the Broncos this season is to show signs of improvement after a tough 2023 season. It looks like the team is on the right path.

The Raiders have the expectations to stay around the playoff picture. It certainly has been an up-and-down start to their season. After losing to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1, Las Vegas rallied back to upend the Baltimore Ravens. However, the Raiders then lost to the Carolina Panthers in Week 3, before bouncing back to beat the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. Gardner Minshew has been okay at quarterback, but it comes down to how strong the Raiders’ defense is in determining if they have a chance to win.

Since their first meeting in 1960, the Raiders are 73-54-2 against the Broncos, winning each of the last eight matchups.

MY PICK: Broncos win, 20-18
