The Denver Broncos (8-7) are slightly favored to drop the Oakland Raiders (12-3) off their high perch, but that is entirely due to Derek Carr being knocked out of the season with a broken leg. If he were still around, the Broncos would be major underdogs.
According to 506sports.com, nearly the entire country will get this game. The blackout areas include the areas around Kansas City and San Diego and, for some reason, parts of North Dakota and Minnesota. There is also a tiny speck of blue down in the Miami-Dade region. If you live in Alaska or Hawaii, no worries, you get the Broncos game too.
The top crew for CBS will cover this game with Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Phil Simms (color analyst), and Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporting). Kickoff is at 2:25 p.m. Mile High time.
