After an impressive victory over the Denver Broncos, we look at four reasons the Raiders will repeat their Week 1 performance and defeat the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Oakland Raiders surprised everyone Monday when they defeated the Denver Broncos 24-16 in a dominant Week 1 performance. The Raiders showed up on both sides of the ball, as Derek Carr and Josh Jacobs tore up the Denver defense, as well as the Raiders pass rush getting to Joe Flacco throughout the night.

The team produced a masterful performance against Denver, but can they do that against Kansas City? This week’s opponent will prove a much tougher challenge, and if the Raiders can pull out a win, they will prove to be a legitimate threat in the NFL.

For the Raiders, they always play Kansas City tough at home, and after the Chiefs looked beatable in Week 1, the team has a chance to pull off one of the bigger upsets on the Week 2 slate. Remember,  this is a team that is vastly improved up front, and for the Chiefs, they will be without one of their stars for the next month or so.

Let’s take a look at four reasons the Raiders will defeat the Chiefs on Sunday.
