3 reasons the Las Vegas Raiders will beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 5
Chiefs offensive line
With how elite the Chiefs offense is, putting up points at will, the interior of their offensive line is nothing to write home about. In fact, if Maliek Collins is a go, and Clelin Ferrell plays the bulk of the time inside on Sunday, the Raiders may be able to get enough push in the interior to disrupt this Chiefs offense.
Not having Maurice Hurst due to him being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list is going to be a huge loss, so Collins playing is imperative if the Raiders want to exploit this matchup. If they can get some push, that could lead to Madd Maxx Crosby having an easier time getting off the edge, getting in Mahomes face and forcing mistakes.

Of course, the Raiders have had some serious issues on the defensive side of the ball, and any time you go up against Mahomes it is cause for concern. They will need to be nearly perfect on that side of the ball if they hope to come away with a victory, and getting the edge up front on both sides of the ball will be paramount.
