The Kansas City Chiefs (KC) attempted to move closer to their fifth AFC West title in a row. In a Sunday Night Football (SNF) matchup, the Chiefs visited the Las Vegas Raiders (LV) at Allegiant Stadium.

The Chiefs would have a commanding three-game first-place divisional lead if they secured a win. Meanwhile, the Raiders would pull closer with a victory and win a potential tiebreaker versus Kansas City.

Las Vegas Raiders

The 6-3 Raiders sat in second place in the AFC division and fought for an AFC playoff berth. Raiders rushing back Josh Jacobs ranked fourth in the NFL in rushing yards (700).

Las Vegas was on a winning streak after winning three games in a row, including Week 7 versus the eventual Super Bowl winners Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Raiders also easily covered the spread by demolishing the Denver Broncos 37-12 last week.

Las Vegas defeated Kansas City in its first matchup of the season. The football team racked up 490 yards of total offense in the 40-32 upset.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr had an outstanding game, tossing for 347 yards and three TDs. Carr also threw 2+ touchdowns in six of his last eight games.

The Raiders offense was efficient, ranking among the top eight NFL teams in:

  • Rushing offense
  • Rushing TDs
  • Completion percentage
  • Third down rate

The offense ranked eighteen in the NFL at 28.3 points per game. It would face a Kansas City defense struggling against the run.

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs led the division with an 8-1 record and challenged Pittsburgh’s NFL leading 10-0 record. KC won enough games by the end of the regular season to avoid a first-round wild card game.

The Chiefs also attempted to avenge their only loss of the season, which was to the Raiders in Week 5.

Kansas City earned a 5-1 record in its last six games following a bye-week. Meanwhile, the victories had an average margin of victory of 11.7 points.

The Chiefs also ranked second in total offense (409 yards/game) and scoring offense (31.8 points/game).

During the season, former MVP Patrick Mahomes threw 2,687 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, with the help of an effective offensive line.

His interceptions tally included just one INT in Week 5 versus the Raiders. Mahomes also ranked among the top five NFL quarterbacks in yards/pass attempts (8.2).

The Chiefs QB’s top pass-catchers included WR Tyreek Hill and TE Travis Kelce. Kansas City could control the clock versus Las Vegas with running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Le'Veon Bell.

Raiders vs. Chiefs: How to Bet on Games

Here are some of the different types of bets you can place based on the Chiefs-Raiders lines:

Teasers: This is one of the multi-leg accumulator bets. Bettors can move the spread to a more favorable position. However, this move causes the betting odds, like Chiefs-Raiders odds, to drop.

Parlays: This is one of the accumulator bets that have multiple legs. You only get a payout if you win every leg.

For example, your parlay picks could include the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and Los Angeles Rams. If your selections were all correct, then you’d win the parlay bet.

Proposition Bet: A prop bet can be a specific event in the game, although more often, it’s on a specific individual player.

For instance, you could bet that Tom Brady throws the first passing TD or predict which lineman makes the first sack in a game.

Live Betting: You can still place a bet after the opening kickoff airs on networks such as CBS, Fox, or NBC, but it must also be sometime before the last snap (backward pass of the ball).

For example, even after the opening kickoff, you could still bet on the Jacksonville Jaguars versus the New England Patriots. This option differs from just listening to podcasts and seeing Getty images the next day.

Moneyline: The straight-up (SU) bet requires picking the winner or loser of a game.

Over/Under: This totals bet projects how many combined points the two NFL teams score in one game. For example, you can bet over or under for Atlanta Falcons vs. Green Bay Packers 49.

Point Spread: This bet is popular in pro leagues like the NBA, the MLB, the NHL, and the NFL. It’s based on the number of points by which one team wins and the other team loses.
