Broncos vs Raiders Odds: Who is Favored to Win?

With Week 5 here, you can find Raiders vs Broncos odds across all Colorado sports betting apps. The widget below will show you moneyline, spread, and total odds across a few of the most popular betting sites in the state.

Broncos vs Raiders Odds: What the Spread Tells Us

Currently, the Broncos are slight favorites on the spread, sitting between 2.5 to 3-point favorites according to operators such as bet365 Colorado. This means if you bet on Denver -3, you need them to win by at least four points to hit your wager. On the flip side, betting Raiders +3 means if Las Vegas loses by two or fewer points (or wins outright), they would cover the spread.

When early betting lines opened this summer, Denver was favored by just one point for this matchup. Earlier this week, Denver was -3 across the board but has been bumped down to -2.5 on some sites.

Broncos vs Raiders Odds: Over/Under

After opening with a total of 41 earlier this year, the under has been hammered to a dismal 36.5 across most apps, including Fanatics Sportsbook CO. This is the second-lowest over/under of the week and just one of two games with a total of less than 40 points. Suffice it to say, points look like they're going to be at a premium for this AFC West tilt. 

We can also use the spread and total to come up with an implied team total for this game. For Week 5, the Raiders' implied team total is 16.75 while the Broncos is 19.75. Not exactly an exciting shootout planned according to oddsmakers.

Broncos vs Raiders Odds: Moneyline

The Broncos are currently slight moneyline favorites with FanDuel Colorado having the best price at -148. Using implied probability, this means Denver has a 60% chance to win.

Broncos vs Raiders Predictions

Week 5 marks the first time the Broncos have been favored in a game this season, thanks to two straight upset wins over the Buccaneers and Jets. Las Vegas, on the other hand, has been incredibly inconsistent. The Raiders pulled off a big-time win over the Ravens in Week 2 and followed that up with getting smacked around by Andy Dalton and the Panthers.

Personally, I'll be staying away from the game lines here in a matchup featuring two below-average teams in a divisional matchup. Here are some betting trends you can consider:

  • The Broncos are 3-1 against the spread (ATS)
  • In Denver's only home game, they failed to cover the spread (0-1)
  • The over/under is 1-3 for Broncos' games this year
  • The Raiders are 2-2 ATS this season
  • In away games, the Raiders are 1-1 ATS
  • The over has hit in 2 of Las Vegas' 4 games

Raiders vs Broncos Player Props

In matchups such as this one, I'm way more inclined to look at player props instead of betting on the spread or total. These are a few player props for Broncos vs Raiders I'll be considering for Week 5, but keep in mind lines are currently limited due to a few players not practicing. Once we know the status of guys like Zamir White, more props will be released.

  • Bo Nix over 20.5 rushing yards - Nix has cleared this line in three of four games this season, averaging 27.5 rushing yards per game.
  • Courtland Sutton over 46.5 receiving yards - This one feels gross, but Sutton has 60+ yards in back-to-back games as well as at least 9 targets in three of four weeks.
