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.

Broncos at Raiders: Game notes

  • The Broncos scored 21 points in the fourth quarter for a second consecutive week. However, they weren’t able to pull out the victory last week at the Atlanta Falcons (34-27 loss) as they did in Week 8 vs. the Los Angeles Chargers (31-30 win).
  • The Raiders pulled out a nail-biter against the Chargers 31-26 in Week 9. Los Angeles scored a would-be go-ahead touchdown pass on the final play of the game, but an official replay ruled that the ball hit the ground, giving Las Vegas the victory.
  • Denver has failed to cover in five straight meetings with Las Vegas, four of which the Broncos were favorites.

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

Prediction

Broncos 29, Raiders 25

Money line (?)

This is the perfect time to buy low on the BRONCOS (+170) and sell high with the Raiders (-200). Las Vegas is going to be missing three offensive linemen, while Denver’s two best cornerbacks are returning from injury—A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan.

Both teams’ run games are roughly average, but the Broncos put more in the box to stymie the run against a beat-up Raiders offensive line and put their good cornerbacks on islands. Truthfully, I’m not in love with Denver’s offense. However, their RBs Melvin Gordon and Phillip Lindsay are both active for this game.

I “LIKE” BRONCOS (+170) for 1 unit.

Against the spread (?)

Las Vegas opened as a 5-point favorite before the market started betting the BRONCOS +3.5 (-110) down to its current price. The Raiders play their home games in Las Vegas and the town LOVES the Silver and Black. Yet, the market is betting against one of the biggest marketplaces (Las Vegas).

For the line to move a point-and-a-half in Denver’s direction tells me that someone really likes the Broncos here. That someone is probably very smart and does this football handicapping thing better than you or me. We should follow that money.

Most importantly we are on Denver to win outright, so let’s BET BRONCOS +3.5 (-110) for 2.5 units.

Over/Under (?)

Raiders QB Derek Carr has been fantastic this season—fifth in QB Rating, ninth in QBR and sixth in on-target percentage. Even though his offensive line is in tatters, I have faith he and head coach Jon Gruden are going to find some success in this game.

However, the Raiders defense isn’t exactly elite and the Broncos have put up a combined 58 points over the past two games. I only lean OVER 50.5 (-115) though, so bet at your own peril.

Raiders at Chargers: Game notes

  • The Raiders are 2-1 in their last three games, claiming both wins on the road. They upset the Cleveland Browns 16-6 as 1-point underdogs in Week 8, improving to 3-1 on the road overall.
  • The Chargers lost on the final play of their game last week, falling 31-30 at the Denver Broncos as 3-point favorites. Denver QB Drew Lock hit WR KJ Hamler for a 1-yard TD as time ran out – the ensuing extra point won it. Los Angeles blew a 14-point lead (24-10) in the fourth quarter, failing to win a second game in a row.
  • The Raiders are 4-3 ATS, while the Chargers are 5-2 ATS.
  • Las Vegas owns a 5-1-1 O/U record, averaging 26.7 points per game to rank 12th in the league. Defensively, they’re yielding 29.0 PPG to rank 25th.
  • The Chargers are 4-3 O/U, average 25.6 PPG (16th) and allow 26.4 PPG (20th).
  • The Raiders beat the Chargers in both games last season to snap a 4-game losing skid in the rivalry.

  • G Trai Turner (groin) questionable

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

Prediction

Raiders 35, Chargers 31

Money line (?)

The RAIDERS (-112) are the play. While rookie QB Justin Herbert (1,820 passing yards, 15 TDs, 5 INTs, 67.4% completion rate) has given the Chargers hope for their future, the RAIDERS are the better overall team. If this climbs above -125, play the spread instead. More importantly, if Jacobs is out, the play becomes a PASS.

Against the spread (?)

AVOID since we’re playing the money line. As noted above, this becomes the play if the money line climbs to -125 or higher. Don’t be afraid to lay as many as 3 points.

Over/Under (?)

The OVER 51.5 (-110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. Expect a shootout in this one. The Chargers have averaged 31.8 PPG in their last four games. Throw out the Raiders’ 16-6 game from last week’s win in terrible weather conditions in Cleveland, and their first six games have seen an average of 61.3 total points.
