At the beginning, Pete Carroll was touted as a savior for the Las Vegas Raiders when he arrived in Sin City. Carroll, 74, has a strong resume. But there was a reason that the Seattle Seahawks kicked him upstairs two years ago.
Carroll brought his old Seattle QB, Geno Smith, along. But Smith has been showing his age at 35 and has not been an asset.
On Thursday, things will get tougher for Carroll as his Raiders visit the Denver Broncos.
Denver is threatening the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC West dynasty.
This rivalry series between the Raiders and Broncos began in 1960 in the AFL.
Gambling action will be plentiful for a Thursday night stand-alone matchup of hated and ancient rivals.

Raiders at Broncos Best Bets

The Raiders are among the least appealing teams in the NFL.
So far in 2025, Las Vegas is deep in the red and showing no signs of offering reliable value.
Although the Broncos are leading the AFC West, they are not in the black.
Denver has won some close games with miraculous comebacks.
Additionally, the Broncos have the metrics of a quality team.
But that is not yet translating into consistent trips to the payout window.

The Raiders make for a good contrarian bet against squares.
