The Las Vegas Raiders (2-6) and the Denver Broncos (7-2) meet for Thursday Night Football at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's Raiders vs. Broncos odds and tab the 5 best prop bets to win among SportsbookWire's expert NFL picks and predictions for Week 10.
The Raiders suffered a 30-29 loss in overtime Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders rallied for a touchdown with 16 seconds left in overtime, and coach Pete Carroll elected to go for 2, which failed. QB Geno Smith threw for 284 yards, a season-best 4 TDs and 1 INT, with 3 of the TDs going to TE Brock Bowers. He finished with 12 catches for 127 yards and the 3 scores in his return from a monthlong absence due to a knee injury. Rookie RB Ashton Jeanty finished with 42 rushing yards and 47 receiving yards with a TD reception.
The Broncos are coming off an 18-15 road win against the Houston Texans. Denver was a 2.5-point underdog and the Under (42) cashed. QB Bo Nix threw for 173 yards, 2 TDs and a pick, connecting with WR Courtland Sutton and RB RJ Harvey for the 2 scores. Denver has won 6 in a row, while going 4-2 against the spread (ATS). The Under is 5-2 in the previous 7 outings, too.

Best Raiders at Broncos prop bets
Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 7:35 a.m. ET.
Raiders QB Geno Smith UNDER 33.5 PASSING ATTEMPTS (-155)
Last week, Smith's 284 passing yards was his third-best passing total of the season. However, Las Vegas traded WR Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars prior to the trade deadline earlier this week for a pair of picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. We should see the Raiders lean into the run game a little more, with more short to intermediate routes.
Smith and Bowers will certainly hook up, but the Raiders would be wise to limit the passing. Denver allows just 6.5 yards per passing attempt (per NFL.com), with just 8 passing TDs. The latter is tied for the second-best mark in the NFL with the LA Chargers -- The Bils are first at 7. Expect the Raiders to lean upon Jeanty a little more.
TNF: Best ML, ATS and O/U bets
Raiders TE Brock Bowers ANYTIME TD (+140)
Last week, Bowers became the third Raiders tight end to score at least 3 touchdowns in a single game, joining Todd Christensen (1983) and Dave Casper (1977). According to ESPN, Bowers is the first tight end in NFL history to post 5 games of 10 or more catches across his first 2 NFL seasons, too.
With Meyers gone, Bowers and WR Tre Tucker are Smith's top targets. If the Raiders get into the red zone, expect Bowers to be the top option. At plus-money, he is a much better option than Jeanty (-150) as an anytime TD scorer.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton OVER 23.5 YARDS LONGEST RECEPTION (-110)
Sutton is a great play for this prop. Last week, he was limited to just a single catch, but that was good for a 30-yard TD. He had a catch for 39 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8, and a 32-yard snag vs. the New York Giants in Week 7. Not only has he gone Over this number in 3 straight games, he has done so in 5 of the past 7 games.
Surprisingly, the Raiders have allowed just 21 pass plays of 20 or more yards, and it has allowed 40+ yards on 4 occasions. Look for Sutton to get free downfield for at least one long catch.
Raiders FIRST TEAM TO REACH 10 POINTS (+195)
While I fully expect the Broncos to scratch out the victory, don't be surprised to see that Bowers anytime TD come early.
Sometimes it's just a hunch or a gut feeling, but I can see the Raiders taking a 10-7 lead at some point in the second quarter.
Broncos PK Wil Lutz UNDER 8.5 POINTS (-135)
You know what time it is -- kicking points prop time.
This target point total is quite high for Lutz. I expect to see the Broncos get plenty of touchdowns, rather than settling for field goals. This is quite a high point total, and Lutz has had 8 or fewer points in all 9 of his previous games, averaging just 5.7 points per game (PPG) in the past 3 outings.
