Raiders vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Brock Bowers (+270)
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook and available at time of publishing.
Backing Brock Bowers is simple. This game could be extremely low scoring, with the Raiders being 13-point road dogs and Aidan O’Connell being under center due to Gardner Minshew being out for the rest of the season. Bowers has made his case that he will be a legitimate weapon in the NFL for the next decade. He’s 4th in receptions but will likely pass Malik Nabers and Amon-Ra St. Brown, who both played on Thanksgiving.
The Raiders are thin everywhere on offense. Zamir White has already been ruled out, while Alexander Mattison is questionable. As 13-point underdogs and an Aidan O’Connell pass attempt line of 36.5, expect a heavy dose of Bowers on Friday, who built a connection with O’Connell earlier in the season.

Raiders vs Chiefs anytime touchdown scorer pick: Travis Kelce (+115)
Odds courtesy of BetMGM Sportsbook and available at time of publishing.
A Friday Day special will occur in Arrowhead, with all eyes on superstar Travis Kelce. Hey, maybe even Taylor Swift makes an appearance. Nonetheless, Kelce comes into this AFC West duel with just 2 touchdowns on the season – 1 being against the Raiders back in late October.
I’m looking to wait a week or two to see how the backfield of the Chiefs will shake out. Kareem Hunt did a phenomenal job holding down the running back room while Isiah Pacheco nursing a fractured fibula sustained in Week 2. Expect both backs to be used heavily on Friday as big favorites. But with this being the first time the Chiefs are at full strength, plus DeAndre Hopkins being a factor, I’ll take my chances on Kelce at plus money against a team he has scored 12 times against in 21 games.
