The Denver Broncos were seeing 91% of the early action as a -9 home favorite. That percentage dropped slightly by Tuesday night to 87%, and books did move Denver back up to -9.5. But that number has trended down from -10.5, which suggests a strong opinion on Las Vegas covering here, so stay tuned.
While Denver has won and covered the last two games in this series, the Raiders were winners of the previous eight games versus the Broncos.
Denver is looking to win their seventh straight game, a hard feat on its own, let alone a cover of nearly ten points. Two of those wins were by two or fewer points.
The Raiders, meanwhile, are stumbling. They've lost six of their last seven games, pushing in their most recent match against Jacksonville. That was a one-point loss.
The former Seattle Seahawks’ coach Pete Carroll reunited in the offseason with Geno Smith in Las Vegas but the pair have not recreated the success they enjoyed for much of their time in Seattle.
