0:00.0	Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the Thunderdome.
0:06.0	On this NFL week 10 kickoff Thursday, November 6, 2025, this show begins now.
0:13.6	Football!
0:14.6	It is magical, and week 10 of the NFL season kicks off this evening on Amazon Prime.
0:19.6	As we go, AFC West battle between the Broncos hosting
0:24.1	the Raiders. Now, the Broncos are eight and a half point favorites on ESPN bet, which is the current
0:29.5	odds that we have here. I think that'll be going until about December 1st or so, if we're to get

And on the other side, the Broncos, this team's going to win a Super Bowl.
1:28.3	That's what everybody was saying coming into the year. This team's defense, outrageous. This team's defense can lock down anybody.
