TV: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS

Records: Raiders 7-8, Broncos 6-9

Line: Broncos by 3½

Satellite radio: Raiders feed on Sirius 211 (streaming 824), Broncos feed on Sirius 136 (streaming 809)

Broncos’ keys: QB Drew Lock should be able to air it out against an Oakland secondary that ranks in the bottom 10 of the NFL. On defense, OLB Von Miller will look to reach double-digit sacks for the sixth consecutive season. He needs three and will be facing QB Derek Carr, sacked 18 times in 10 career games against Denver.

Raiders’ keys: RB Josh Jacobs is still battling a shoulder injury but had 113 scrimmage yards and two TDs in the first meeting.

Who wins? Broncos will have momentum coming off a 27-17 win over the Lions last week, and Lock is 3-1 as a starter. Broncos 31, Raiders 24
