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 players and NFL executive leadership were made public. Denver is looking to get back in the AFC playoff picture after losing 27-19 to the Pittsburgh Steelers last weekend

How to watch Raiders vs. Broncos Date: Sunday, Oct. 17 Time: 4:25 p.m. ET TV: CBS Streaming: Paramount+ Week 6 picks for Broncos vs. RaidersBefore you turn on the Raiders vs. Broncos game you need to see the picks from SportsLine's proven model. The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up almost $7,900 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. It went a sizzling 24-14 on top-rated NFL picks last season, returning more than $800. The model also enters Week 6 of the 2021 season on an incredible 125-83 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
For Broncos vs. Raiders, the model predicts that the Broncos will take advantage of the drama surrounding Las Vegas and cover the spread as home favorites. Without Gruden to oversee what the Raiders do on offense, the expectation is the team will take a step back. The situation may have been heading that direction anyway after the Raiders have dropped their last two games and were only able to muster up 259 yards of total offense last week against the Chicago Bears.
Although Las Vegas has been a sneakily strong defensive side through the first quarter of the season, Denver's running back tandem of Melvin Gordon and rookie Javonte Williams should pace the Broncos. The SportsLine model predicts the pair will top 105 yards and each average in the neighborhood of five yards per carry. Concerns last week about a knee injury carried by Denver QB Teddy Bridgewater were quelled with his solid performance, and projections have him pushing for 250 yards and two touchdowns again in Week 6.
Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has averaged just 61.5 receiving yards in the four games he's played against the Raiders, but he blew up last week. Following his 120-yard showing against the Steelers, he's trending towards picking up 86 yards against Las Vegas and leads Denver to cover in well over 50 percent of simulations.
