Broncos vs. Raiders: How to watch, game time, TV schedule, injury report, odds and more

NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos — Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports

The Denver Broncos will look to close out the season with a winning record with a road win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18. Here is how to watch.

A winning season and a winning record in the AFC West is what is at stake for the Denver Broncos as they travel to take on the Las Vegas Raiders in the season finale for both teams.

Game Preview

There are some fans already looking ahead to the offseason and thinking a better draft pick would be nice, but Head Coach Sean Payton is having none of that. He is playing to win as he should, because finishing with a winning record does actually mean something in his circles.

“I’m playing it just like I would if we had to win,” Payton said this week when asked if he would play young players more this week. “I’m playing it just like I would a regular game.”

After that 1-5 start, then to rally to finish 9-8 would be a huge confidence builder for a franchise that has grown too used to losing. They’d take a winning record in the AFC West for the first time since 2015 and lock in second place in the division for this season. That shows a team that is trending up, not down for the first time in nearly a decade.

Here’s how to watch.

Broncos-Raiders Betting Odds

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos opened 2.5-point road underdogs to the Raiders. However, that line has grown to a 3-point advantage for Las Vegas with an over/under at 37 points. I’m still going with the Broncos win here. They have a winning season to play for and a second place in the AFC West. Plus they’d keep the Raiders from finishing strong, which is quite worth the effort.
