The Raiders have to watch their rival from the bottom of the AFC West, as the Broncos sit atop the division with a 7-2 record, while the Raiders sit at the bottom with a 2-6 record.
In the last five games for each time, the Broncos have gone 5-0 as part of a bigger six-game win streak, while the Raiders are 1-4 and on a two-game loss streak.
An even deeper look
The Broncos are among the best teams in the NFL, and the Raiders are among the worst.
How do things look below the surface?
As far as offense goes, neither team is very remarkable.
The Broncos only generate the 14th-most yards per game, and that’s even with many teams playing fewer games than them, at the moment. The Broncos have a total of 3,126 yards and an average of 347.3 yards per game.
They have also put up 225 total points, with a 25 points per game average.
The Raiders are a bottom-three offensive team, and although they have only played eight games, they have put up 2,266 total yards, with 283.3 per game.
They have scored 132 points and average 16.5 per game.
As far as defense goes, the Broncos are in a class of their own against the Raiders, who are not the worst defensive team, but certainly aren’t the best.
The Broncos have a top-three defense, which has allowed 2,519 total yards, and gives up 279.9 per game. They have had 166 points scored against them for an average of 18.4 per game.
In one less game, the Raiders have let in more total yards at 2,667, and an average of 333.4 per game. They have not been as stout in limiting opponents’ scoring, allowing 210 total points and 26.3 points per game.
Things might seem like they lean in favor of the Broncos, but you never know what can happen in the NFL, especially when a bitter rival is involved.
