Kickoff from Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver will be at 5:30 p.m. PT, 8:30 p.m. ET. This will be Sunday Night Football this week. Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth will be in the booth to call the game for NBC. This is a nationally televised game, so you can definitely stream it on NBC Live Extra if you would like.

Oakland needs to pay attention to this game closely, as these are the next two opponents the Raiders will face. The Raiders will meet New England down in Mexico City in Week 11. Denver comes to town in Week 12 for a rematch of that debacle of a game back in Week 4.

Denver has been horrendous since beating Oakland at home back in Week 4. The Broncos have lost four straight games since coming off their early season bye. This game will be mostly about how good New England looks and how bad it has gotten in Denver. If you watch one game this weekend, this is it.
