The Las Vegas Raiders (3-2) will be coached by Rich Bisaccia on Sunday against the Denver Broncos (3-2) when the division rivals meet. Former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden resigned this week when emails he sent with unsavory words about the players and executive management of the NFL became public. Denver is looking to get back in the AFC playoff photo after losing 27-19 to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend
The game is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET at Empower Field in Mile High. Denver is favored by four in recent Broncos vs. Raiders from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over-under is 44.

Week 6 pick for Broncos vs. Raiders
Before activating the Raiders vs. Broncos game, you need to see SportsLine’s proven model choices. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up nearly $ 7,900 per 100 players on the NFL’s top picks since its inception over six years ago. Last season, he made 24-14 on the NFL’s top picks, grossing over $ 800. The model also enters Week 6 of the 2021 season on an incredible 125-83 run on the NFL’s top picks stretching back to the 2017 season.
The model has also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on NFL direct picks and has beaten over 94% of CBS Sports Football Pick’em players four times during that time. Whoever followed him is very high.
For the Broncos versus the Raiders, the model predicts the Broncos will take advantage of the drama surrounding Las Vegas and cover the spread as a home favorite. Without Gruden to oversee what the Raiders do on offense, the team is expected to take a step back. The situation might have been in that direction anyway after the Raiders lost their last two games and were able to muster just 259 total yards of attack last week against the Chicago Bears.
While Las Vegas have been an underhandedly strong defensive team in the first quarter of the season, Denver’s running tandem of Melvin Gordon and rookie Javonte Williams should pace the Broncos. The SportsLine model predicts the pair will hit 105 yards and each average around five yards per carry. Concerns last week over a knee injury carried by Denver QB Teddy Bridgewater have been assuaged with his strong performance, and projections push him for 250 yards and two touchdowns again in Week 6.
Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton averaged just 61.5 receiving yards in his four games against the Raiders, but he exploded last week. After his 120-yard performance against the Steelers, he tends to pick up 86 yards against Las Vegas and leads Denver to cover well over 50% of the sims.
