The Oakland Raiders will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and here are three matchups they will need to win if they are going to pull off the upset.

The Oakland Raiders head back home this week to face longtime division rival the Kansas City Chiefs. These teams are going in completely opposite directions as the Raiders are set up for a massive rebuild and the Chiefs are bonafide Superbowl contenders.

The Chiefs seems to have endless weapons on the offensive side of the ball and though they aren’t great on defense, they have two or three big-time playmakers

So if the Raiders have any chance at pulling the biggest upset of the season, they are going to have to win some key matchups.

Here are three that I think rank at the very top.
