Rotation #478
Chiefs -10.5 over Raiders (loss)
There are two questions we ask about today’s game. Can the Raiders run the ball? With Josh Jacobs out, the answer is no. Can the Raiders stop the run? The answer is no. Being limited in these categories on the road almost always means failure. Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell is young and will make mistakes if he has to drop back and throw 40 times. The Raiders are not a cold-weather team and play their home games in a dome. Today’s game will be the coldest temperatures they had to deal with all year. Las Vegas had a monster win last week against a bad team. People will bet on them today for that reason alone. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will be a good game manager today, and running back Isiah Pacheco will run the ball well. Kansas City is the better overall team and should win by double digits. Take the Chiefs.
