With a 2-6 record and little hope of making the playoffs, the Las Vegas Raiders traded starting wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars prior to Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
On the other hand, the 7-2 Denver Broncos sit atop the AFC West heading into Week 10.
As a result, it shouldn't shock anyone that updated Raiders vs. Broncos odds show Denver as a 9.5-point spread favorite against Las Vegas for Thursday Night Football (8:15 a.m. ET, Amazon Prime Video).
However, I am quite surprised at the Thursday Night Football prediction that professional bettors are currently making heading into what appears to be a lopsided matchup.
Let me explain.
