Chiefs at Raiders: Game preview and prediction in Week 11
Game Prediction
Call me crazy, but I actually like the Raiders to come away with the victory in this one, though it is not going to be easy. With the offense playing at a very high level, and their defense finally turning the corner the last few weeks, the pieces are in place for the Silver and Black to make a legitimate run at a Super Bowl.
Beating the Chiefs twice in one season will go a long way in terms of their confidence, especially if they end up playing Mahomes and company in the playoffs. Coming off the bye, and playing a Raiders defense that has mostly had to sit this week due to COVID is an extremely big advantage for the Chiefs, but this is not the same defense KC faced six weeks ago.
Mahomes is going to put points on the board, there is no questioning that, but the Raiders have the talent on offense to go blow-for-blow with them Sunday night. I expect a heavy dose of Jacobs, pounding the Chiefs into submission, before a late Daniel Carlson field goal seals the win for Las Vegas.
Prediction: Raiders 30, Chiefs 27
