Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs Preview
On the season the Raiders are 7-6 ATS and they have an O/U record of 7-6 and the Chiefs are 8-5 ATS and they have an O/U record of 4-9.
This season the Chiefs are 4-2 at home and the Raiders are 0-6 on the road.

In their last games the Raiders beat the San Francisco 49ers 24-13 and the Chiefs lost to the Arizona Cardinals 17-14.
The Chiefs have lost 3 straight and the first loss of the streak was the first win for the Raiders this season. Oakland has won 2 of their last 3 games, the other a 52-0 loss to the Rams, and they are winless on the road, which is why it is no surprise that they are double-digit underdogs facing Kansas City.
Things are not looking good for the Chiefs and their playoff chances, but they are not out if it yet. After the Raiders’ game they finish the season facing the Chargers and the Steelers, who KC trails by 1 game for one of the 2 AFC Wild Card spots.

Both of the Raiders wins this season have come against teams with winning records. They played great defense in the win over the 49ers and Derek Carr had a solid game and looks like he may have a bright future in the Bay Area.
Carr passed for 254 yards with 3 TD and 0 INT in the win over San Francisco and while the Raiders do not have a great WR corps Mychal Rivera had 109 receiving yards in the 49ers game. Carr was decent in the win over the Chiefs earlier this season, but will be facing a KC pass defense that ranks 2nd in the league.
One of the main reasons Oakland got their first win facing KC was that RB Latavius Murray rushed for 112 yards with 2 TD. He had over 70 rushing yards in the San Francisco game, but only averaged 3.3 yards per carry. He may be the key goy on offense yet again in this game, as the Chiefs only rank 31st in the league in run defense and they allowed a guy that just called up from the practice squad for the Cardinals to rush for 100 yards.
Alex Smith had a big game in the loss to the Cardinals passing for 293 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT. He has a decent WR corps, but the team needs to lean on RB Jamaal Charles, who is their big gun on offense. He was nicked up in the Arizona game, but should go in this one. He only had 180 rushing yards against Oakland a few weeks back and needs to play well in this game, which is almost a much win for KC.

The Raiders rank a legit 7th in the league in pass defense and while they only rank 24th in run D they played Charles well in the first match up and also held the 49ers to under 100 rushing yards.
