The Chiefs will win 21-9

The Chiefs knocked the Raiders around the last time they met. That was at Allegiant Stadium. Las Vegas is out of the frying pan and into the fire heading to Arrowhead for this matchup.

It’s no wonder oddsmakers have Kansas City favored by 9.5 points. The Chiefs are on a five-game winning streak. Las Vegas has lost four of their last five. Momentum is complete in favor of the home team.

Unexpected things have happened all over the place this NFL season. So it isn’t out of the question for the Raiders to catch the Chiefs napping in this one. It’s just not a good bet.

Kansas City’s defense is playing too well and the Raiders are dealing with key injuries. Patrick Mahomes has already shown he doesn’t fear this LV defense.

It won’t be quite the drubbing of the last time they met. However, Andy Reid and his team should win this one without too much worry.
