4:25 PM Sunday Game: Chiefs vs. Raiders

Matchup Overview: The undefeated Chiefs face off against the 2-5 Raiders in this divisional showdown. Patrick Mahomes, a superior quarterback compared to any QB the Raiders can field, is set to lead Kansas City in an all-passing game. The Raiders have recently signed Desmond Ridder, and while it's uncertain if he’ll start, we've seen last-minute QB shifts work for teams in the past. If Ridder can’t deliver, this could turn into a lopsided affair, with a potential 30-10 score if Las Vegas fails to generate any offensive rhythm.

Prediction: Chiefs 20.5 - 20 Raiders (CAN END IN 30 - 10)

Vegas Line: Chiefs -9.5
O/U: 41

Stats Breakdown:

Chiefs’ Defense: Allows 27 points; Offense: Scores 31 points against similar teams.
Raiders’ Defense: Allows 26 points; Offense: Scores 27 points against similar teams.

Despite the close prediction, Mahomes and the Chiefs offense have a clear edge. With no substantial running game expected from either side, the Raiders will rely heavily on passing. But Raiders fans, brace yourselves—if Ridder struggles, this could quickly swing in Kansas City's favor.
