Today, the Raiders vs Broncos live stream sees the debut of a few new faces: For Las Vegas, it's the start of a new chapter with Jimmy Garoppolo under center, while Denver has a new head coach in Sean Payton, who was lured out of retirement to coax a better performance out of star quarterback Russell Wilson. Even with the Lions defeating the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday, the Raiders vs Broncos is one of the more interesting match-ups in week 1 of NFL live streams.

Both the Raiders and the Broncos are coming off disappointing seasons, as they were third and fourth, respectively, in the AFC West last season. Las Vegas posted a 6-11 record, while Denver struggled to a 5-12 finish, despite paying a king's ransom in draft picks to get Russell Wilson from the Seahawks.

As a result, the Broncos fired their first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett (don't worry — he's now the Jets offensive coordinator) and lured Sean Payton, the former head coach of the New Orleans Saints, out of retirement, in the hopes that he can get more out of the underperforming Wilson. 

On the other side of the ball, the Raiders parted ways with longtime quarterback Derek Carr (who signed with the Saints during the offseason) and picked up the oft-injured Jimmy Garoppolo from the San Francisco 49ers, where he is reunited with his former offensive coordinator — now head coach — Josh McDaniels. 

As of an hour before the game, there were a handful of players declared inactive on each side of the ball, the most signficant being the Broncos' Jerry Jeudy, who was ruled out with a hamstring injury.

According to DraftKings, the Broncos are 3.5-point favorites against the Raiders with an over-under of 44 points. However, as of an hour before game time, the Broncos were 3-point favorites, according the Ceasar's Sportsbook.
