Oakland Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs (-10)*
Players may deny it, but the results speak for themselves — certain games mean more than others. The Oakland Raiders, unable to beat any of the other eleven teams they faced this year, somehow were able to outscore the Chiefs and 49ers over the past few weeks. Do we really need to look further than the pride associated with these rivalries — locational and divisional?
The same can now be said from the other side of the equation. Kansas City has dropped three straight games, falling out of the divisional — if not Wild Card — race. The catalyst for this recent skid? The Oakland Raiders in Week 12.
Kansas City is poised to dismantle Oakland on Sunday. Normally, a large spread in a division game leads us to take the points. That’s not the case when the favorite is due to rebound against a team significantly worse, playing at home, and holding on to the last hope of a playoff push.
The Chiefs win by three touchdowns and cover.
