Chiefs at Raiders picks and predictions
Prediction
Chiefs 30, Raiders 13
Moneyline
The Raiders have only won 1 of the last 7 meetings with the Chiefs. They have not reached 20 points in 3 straight weeks while the Chiefs have not allowed an opponent to reach 20 points in their last 4.
The Chiefs are heavy favorites and should win this game, and the addition of Hopkins to their receiver room only makes them better. But don’t consider betting the -500 odds unless you include it in a parlay bet.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Chiefs’ last 2 wins have been by double digits while 3 of the Raiders’ 5 losses have been by double digits.
BET CHIEFS -9 (-120).
Over/Under
The Chiefs have not scored 30 points in a game yet this season, but scored 26 and 28 points in their last 2 games.
The Raiders are 29th in scoring defense. Four of their Games this season have surpassed 41 points (3 of the Chiefs’ Games have).
But with Hopkins adding dynamic playmaking to the receiver room, Mahomes’ streak of getting picked off every Game this season will end and they will eclipse the 30-point mark.
BET OVER 41.5 (-110).
