Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin (11) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth quarter at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Oct. 26, 2025.

The Denver Broncos find themselves perched atop the AFC West with a 7-2 record at the 2025 NFL season's midpoint. Will they be able to build upon it during a "Thursday Night Football" clash with the Las Vegas Raiders?

The Raiders (2-6) are in the AFC West basement and just parted with top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Geno Smith has tossed a league-high 11 interceptions in his first season in Las Vegas, leaving Pete Carroll and Co. searching for answers about how to power an offense that ranks fourth-worst league-wide in offensive EPA per play.

The good news? Brock Bowers returned from an injury in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The talented tight end racked up 12 catches for 127 yards and three touchdowns in an overtime loss.

The bad news? The Raiders are facing a Broncos defense that is one of the NFL's best in Week 10. Denver has generated a league-best pressure rate of 43.5% and ranks third overall in defensive EPA per play.

That will make it hard for Las Vegas to consistently break through Denver's defense, even if reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Patrick Surtain isn't able to suit up because of a pectoral injury.

Las Vegas may stand a better chance of containing Denver's offense. Bo Nix and the Broncos offense have had an up-and-down season that has been characterized by slow starts with clutch fourth-quarter finishes.

Perhaps Maxx Crosby can disrupt Nix and Co. early in the game to keep the Raiders competitive. Even so, it's easy to understand why the Broncos are significant favorites in this contest, as Las Vegas have allowed 26.3 points per game, 10th-most in the NFL.

Here's what to know about the Broncos vs. Raiders "Thursday Night Football" matchup for NFL Week 10 and how to watch it.

What time does Broncos-Raiders NFL game start?

The Broncos vs. Raiders game will kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET on Nov. 5. The Broncos are set to host the first "Thursday Night Football" game of November at Empower Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver, Colorado as they look to build upon their lead in the AFC West.

What channel is Denver Broncos vs. Las Vegas Raiders on tonight?

Amazon Prime owns the rights to the NFL's "Thursday Night Football" package and will broadcast the AFC West clash nationally in Week 10. Al Michaels (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (game analyst) and Kaylee Hartung (sideline reporter) will be on the call for the game, per usual.

While NFL fans watching the game nationally will need an Amazon Prime subscription to access it, the league has a deal in place that requires the streaming giant to regionally broadcast the game on local television stations in the Denver and Las Vegas markets. That will allow those without a Prime Video subscription to watch the game.
