The Chiefs will win 23-21

The Chiefs and Raiders were fairly evenly matched on paper when it came to performance so far this season. The Kansas City that turned up at Allegiant Stadium was one that finally looked closer to their Super Bowl form. That’s why they ran away with that game so thoroughly.

Coming into this week, the Chiefs and the Cowboys look even more evenly matched. Will the Super Bowl version of Kansas City show up again?

Maybe it was just the Raiders being the Raiders, but KC has steadily improved this season. The defensive front is stronger than ever, which has made all the difference for the defense as a whole.

On offense, Patrick Mahomes was in the middle of the worst stretch of his career, but he looked like he had his groove back in Vegas.

Dallas will test all of the growth that the Chiefs have shown and they may prove there’s still a ways to go for this team. It just feels like the right time to buy into Kansas City, especially playing at Arrowhead.
