The Raiders lose, by how much?

The Raiders are huge underdogs for a reason, and the spread between these two teams is hovering around 15 at the moment. If you truly expect the Raiders to come away with a win on Sunday you must be commended for your positive outlook.

No one fully expects the Raiders to beat the offensive juggernaut that is the Chiefs right now. The question here is how bad will Oakland fall to their most historic rival. Kansas City is 8-2 against the Raiders since Andy Reid joined the Chiefs in 2013, and that record will likely increase to 9 wins after Sunday afternoon.

Hopefully the loss isn’t too much of a blowout, hopefully the Raiders avoid the shut-out and manage to find the end zone or split the uprights to put points on the board. Hopefully the secondary manages to pick off Mahomes in the air or (somewhat) contain Hunt on the ground. A win is too great to ask for, but a decent game shouldn’t be too much to ask right?
