The Las Vegas Raiders have had the Denver Broncos' number in recent years, but one NFL analyst apparently forgot that in his prediction for the Broncos' win-loss record.

NFL Network's Adam Rank picked the Broncos to beat the Raiders in Week 5 of the 2024 season. It wasn't so much the prediction that was the problem, but rather what he said when making it.

"Now, Week 5, beating the Las Vegas Raiders, as you do," Rank said of his pick of the Broncos winning their first game against Las Vegas this coming season.

The problem with that comment, of course, is that the Broncos haven't beaten the Raiders in eight straight meetings dating back to 2020. Adding to that, the Raiders own the all-time advantage over Denver in the regular season, with a 72-53-2 mark against their division rival.

Ultimately, Rank has the Raiders splitting their two games with the Broncos, as he chose Las Vegas to top Denver in Week 12.
