By the be a movie.

It's going to be a movie, man. Let's do it.

I never surf a movie.

I switch your lights off good night.

I'll rise on the night. I'll rise up like no time.

Hello, welcome to first take. Happy Thursday. That's right. The NFL is back tonight.

Shea Cornett, Dan Arlowski, Ryan Clark, and Stephen A is up early in Los Angeles with us today. Good morning, everybody. Let's get to it.

Shall we? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. How's everybody doing? Good morning, brother. We're good.

We're good.

We're good.

Brownie, how are you? All right, let's go. Week 10 in the NFL underway tonight from Denver where the Broncos will welcome the Raiders to town for an AFC West showdown. Denver has been one of the hottest teams lately. They're undefeated at home. They've won six straight games.

The Broncos sit atop the ASC West

where the Raiders, who's dropped two in a row,

sit at top,

the AFC West, where the Raiders, who's dropped two in a row, sit at the bottom. So ESPN Analytics

has Denver is a 46% favorites to win the division with the chiefs at a 28% and then the

Chargers at 26. The Broncos have not won a division title since 2015. Maybe you remember the man who was quarterback that year. That would have been Peyton Manning. Okay, but the reality of the situation is the Chiefs have won this division nine consecutive years. If the season ended today, we've said this 100 times this week, the Chiefs would not be in the postseason. So are we ready to say this. Are we ready to say that this is the year the chiefs are maybe dethroned as division champs? And we hand that over to the Broncos. What do you think are? Yes, it is. This is the year. When you look at the rest of this schedule as well, if you're the Denver Broncos, the games with the Kansas City Chiefs are extremely important, right? You have to split those games. But we also see the way that these two teams are playing.

Listen, I've been as bullish on the Kansas City Chiefs this year as anyone when they started

0 and 2 when we saw them go to Jacksonville and lose.

But after watching that game against the Buffalo Bills, you realize, one, they can't stop

the run.

What team in the AFC West runs the football the best? And that's the Denver Broncos. And then outside of playing the Kansas City Chiefs twice, you think about only the Packers left on their schedule or a team that they could even have a situation where you think it's a 50-50 ball game. Denver schedule. A 50-50 ball game for them.
