Raiders will have a high-powered offense
The Kansas City Chiefs had the most explosive offense in the NFL last season, with Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt on the field. Teams did not struggle to score on the Chiefs, but they could rarely match the Chief’s offensive production.
Say what you want about Jon Gruden, but he may have built one of the few offenses that can keep up with the Chiefs offense. Derek Carr has thrown for over 30 touchdowns before, and although his numbers have fallen off, this is the system and surrounding talent that could get him back there.
The Raiders also added Antonio Brown, who scored 15 touchdowns just a season ago. There are corners on the Chiefs roster that will slow Antonio Brown down, and if they put too much effort into trying to do it, Carr will find Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow.
There is no question that Mahomes and the rest of the Chiefs offense will score a ton of points on the Raiders, but it is hard to imagine that he has another 50 touchdown season. Even if the Raiders cannot keep up with the Chiefs on offense, they should be able to win shootouts with a good majority of the rest of the league.
