Raiders at Chiefs: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Chiefs 37, Raiders 28
Money line (?)
This game is not worth betting the money line with the Chiefs overwhelming favorites at -625. AFC West games are always entertaining but Las Vegas’ defense is not good enough to slow Mahomes and Co. It is a sure thing, but you won’t make any money. That said, if you must, go Chiefs -625.
Against the spread (?)
The huge spread at 11.5 points is one to give you pause. The Chiefs have covered the spread in three of four games, but the Raiders are 2-2 ATS and 1-2 ATS as underdogs. Divisional games are frequently tight in the AFC West. I expect a Chiefs win, but the Raiders will keep it within double digits. take the RAIDERS +11.5 (-110).
Over/Under (?)
You would think that with the Chiefs offense, it would be a lock to take the Over. However, their games have gone Under in three of four. Raiders games have not gone Under yet this season. They have a good offense and a bad defense. Both teams should score a lot. This should be a shootout. Take the OVER 55.5 (-110).
