Broncos at Raiders Sunday Puts Patriots Tiebreaker Within Denver’s Reach

A win in Las Vegas would lock the common-opponents edge that could decide home-field in the AFC.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Sunday, Dec. 7 at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
  • A Denver victory would clinch the common-opponents tiebreaker over New England, strengthening the Broncos’ path to the No. 1 seed without securing a playoff berth by itself.
  • The Patriots’ earlier loss to the Raiders factors into the shared-opponents column that would favor Denver if both teams finish with the same record.
  • Betting markets list Denver as roughly a 7.5-point favorite with a moneyline near -425 and a total around 40.5 points.
  • Denver enters 10-2 on a nine-game win streak, while Las Vegas is 2-10 on a six-game slide, and multiple models give the Broncos the higher win probability.
