An AFC West battle between the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos is the featured matchup of the Week 10 slate of the 2020 NFL season.

Entering Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season, the AFC West is once again headed by the Kansas City Chiefs. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes is off to a blistering start to the season, throwing 25 touchdowns against only one interception, and has his Chiefs sitting at 8-1 heading into the bye week.

The only blemish on the Chiefs record came at the hands of the Las Vegas Raiders, who also have the only interception of Mahomes this season. Las Vegas goes into their Week 10 matchup against the Denver Broncos coming off two straight road wins, and will now head home to Allegiant Stadium, where the Raiders have struggled.

Overall, the Raiders have a chance to catch the Chiefs in the division, but most likely, they will end up with a Wild Card. Denver and Los Angeles are in the middle of lost seasons, as they have not been consistent, and have been battling injuries, so it is really only a two-team race at this point in the season.

Here is the slate in the AFC West in Week 10 of the 2020 NFL season.
