Mile High Report
The Denver Broncos take their six-game win streak into Thursday Night Football where they will host the hated Las Vegas Raiders. This game has a ‘trap’ feel to it with the all-important home matchup next week against the Kansas City Chiefs looming. Denver absolutely needs this win to keep their momentum rolling and the closer they get to double-digit wins before their Bye week the better it will be for them in the final stretch of the season.

Collectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a Broncos 32-15 home win over the hated Raiders. Almost all of us are predicting a two-score or more win on TNF. Though not all. Here’s how each of us predicted things would go individually:
I don’t see a blowout in this game. The defense is going to be worn a bit from Sunday’s slugfest and that might give the Raiders some big play opportunities in the game. That said, the Raiders do kind of stink and that should give the Broncos offense some chances in this game. At the end of the day, I think they prevail, but it surely won’t be covering the large spread for this game. – Tim Lynch
The Raiders have always been trash and will continue to be trash on Thursday night. The Broncos will drop kick them into next Tuesday with extreme prejudice. – Sadaraine
The Raiders are down one of their best offensive weapons, leaving the Broncos with mostly just two guys to have to deal with. Geno Smith has been awful and both him and his offensive line have given up the sixth-most sacks in the league. Their rushing attack is minimal because Ashton Jeanty gets hit in the backfield constantly and their run defense is average at best. The Broncos beat them in every matchup on paper and that should translate to the field. And FWIW, we all remember the last time these two teams faced off while the Broncos donned the Orange Crush uniforms. – Ross Allen
The Broncos’ defense notches their 5th game of the season with zero TDs allowed. Vance Joseph emphasizes coralling Brock Bowers, leaving Geno Smith & company too much to do with too little talent to do it. Denver’s offense gets back into rhythm as well, with an easier matchup on the heels of last week’s challenge against the Texans’ defense. Nix & company score 4 TDs total- 2 on the ground, 2 in the air- as the Broncos match their 7-game winning streak from 2015. – Taylor Kothe
