LV vs DEN Matchup Board: Odds & Predictions, Free Picks, Prop Bets Today & Injury Updates
1. Courtland Sutton (DEN) +700
Courtland Sutton has been the model of consistency for the Broncos, leading the team with 38 catches for 566 yards and four touchdowns, ranking 11th in the NFL in receiving yards. He’s scored in four games this season, spreading his TDs out. The Raiders’ defense ranks 19th in yards allowed (333.4 per game) and has surrendered 11 passing touchdowns, tied for the ninth fewest in the league. With his red-zone reliability, Sutton remains a go-to target to open the scoring.
2. J.K. Dobbins (DEN) +475
JK Dobbins has been a steady force in the Denver backfield, ranking fifth in the NFL with 695 rushing yards to go along with four touchdowns. His combination of vision and power has made him the Broncos’ preferred option in goal-line situations. The Raiders have allowed nine rushing touchdowns to running backs, the third-most in football, making Dobbins one of the sharpest early-score bets on the board.
3. Bo Nix (DEN) +1200
When it comes to value, Bo Nix provides intriguing upside. The second-year pivot has already found the end zone three times on the ground, showing his dual-threat ability in the red zone. The Raiders’ defense has struggled to contain mobile quarterbacks, allowing the fourth-most rushing TDs to QBs (three) this season. Denver could easily use a designed run or read-option to get Nix into the end zone early.
4. Ashton Jeanty (LV) +750
For Las Vegas, Ashton Jeanty continues to be one of the team’s most versatile weapons. He’s totaled 487 rushing yards on 124 carries and 133 receiving yards with three touchdowns through the air. Denver’s defense ranks eighth against the run (93.1 YPG) but has been vulnerable to dual-threat backs, especially in short-yardage situations. If the Raiders open with a scripted drive, Jeanty’s red-zone versatility makes him a strong candidate to strike first.
5. Brock Bowers (LV) +900
Brock Bowers has quickly become a nightmare for opposing defenses, catching 31 passes for 352 yards and exploding for three touchdowns last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His chemistry with Geno Smith continues to grow, and his size-speed combo makes him the focal point in the red zone. The Broncos have allowed 53.6 receiving yards per game to tight ends and have been middle-of-the-pack in coverage inside the 20, giving Bowers a real shot at an early score.
