This battle of AFC West rivals has been remarkably one-sided in recent years. The Chiefs have won eight of the last nine meetings overall and eight of the last nine meetings at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium against the Raiders entering this one. That includes a pair of victories last year where they outscored Las Vegas 89-23 in the two games. The Raiders did pick up their first win last week by beating the Broncos 32-23 at home but as we've seen, Denver is a team in disarray to this point of the season. Las Vegas did pick up Davante Adams to help the passing game but the fact remains that they have major issues on defense. The Raiders are 23rd in scoring defense, 22nd in pass defense and 28th in completion percentage allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes has averaged 318.3 yards per game with 22 touchdown passes against three interceptions in eight career starts against the Raiders and is 7-1 in those outings.Only two of those wins have been decided by seven points or less: Kansas City piles up the offense and wins this one going away to cover the line.
