Chiefs at Raiders: Game notes

The Raiders are dealing with adversity as they had eight players activated from the COVID reserve list Saturday and will be without four starters due to COVID-19.
The Chiefs had a bye in Week 10 and head coach Andy Reid’s teams typically perform well with time off. Since Reid took over as Kansas City’s coach in 2013, the Chiefs are 5-2 straight up and 4-3 ATS coming out of a bye week.
Las Vegas had a dominant performance at home vs. the Denver Broncos in Week 10. The Raiders routed the Broncos, 37-12, behind a rushing attack that had 203 rushing yards with four touchdowns and a defense that had five takeaways against Denver.
Kansas City’s offense is playing as advertised: 2nd in total yards per game, points per game, and third-down conversion percentage.
The Raiders gave the Chiefs their only loss this season, 40-32, in Week 5. It was a clean victory for Las Vegas who had 77 more total yards, were better on third down and possessed the ball for 35:18.

Chiefs at Raiders: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chiefs 29, Raiders 24

Money line (?)

This is a PASS for me mostly because of the insane situational edge for the Chiefs. Week 10 was an easy victory for the Raiders, but it was still a division game, while Reid is coming off a bye with the defending Super Bowl champions looking to avenge their only loss.

I don’t know my buy price for a Raiders upset, but it’s not what BetMGM is offering.

Against the spread (?)

Reid-trends be damned, I am ROLLING WITH THE RAIDERS +7 (+105). I’d recommend waiting closer to kickoff to see if you can get this over a full touchdown especially since people like hammering favorites at the end of football Sundays.

The House is going to NEED the Raiders to come through for them: 86% of the money wagered and 87% of the bets made are on the Chiefs, according to Pregame.com.

Kansas City has a bottom-10 run defense across most categories and Las Vegas gains the seventh-most yards on the ground per game and runs the ball at the fifth-highest rate in the NFL.

Jon Gruden and the Raiders are going to pound the rock and control the tempo of this game. GIMME RAIDERS +7 (-106) for 1.5 units.

Over/Under (?)

I’m not usually a trends bettor but here are a few good ones to explain my lean on UNDER 56.5 (-106):

Kansas City has a 1-5-1 O/U record following a bye week while Reid has been the coach.
The Chiefs are 0-5 O/U in their last five games vs. a team above .500.
The Under is 6-2 in Kansas City’s last eight prime-time games.

I’ll TAKE UNDER 56.5 (-106) for a quarter-unit.
