Kansas City Chiefs vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction
The Chiefs should get the benefit of the doubt, and they’re the better team until proven otherwise, but they’ve also struggled to put away the Dolphins and Colts. It’s fair to question how real this start is for the Raiders, but the defense is greatly improved, and the offense has upside with Bowers just getting back. There’s some pep in the Raiders’ step right now, and the crowd will show up for this one. This is one of the bigger games for the Raiders in recent memory. We’re getting a decent amount of points. I’ll take them.
