Raiders need a big game from Derek Carr on Sunday against Indianapolis /

The AFC West will likely be won by the Kansas City Chiefs again this year, but the Las Vegas Raiders have a lot to play for down the stretch.

The 2020 NFL season rolls on this weekend, as the Las Vegas Raiders play a crucial game against the Indianapolis Colts. The Silver and Black also need help from divisional rival Kansas City, who takes on the Miami Dolphins, a team ahead of the Raiders in the Wild Card race. In other action, Denver travels to Carolina while the Los Angeles Chargers play host to Atlanta.

There is still a lot left to play for, so here is our Week 14 preview and predictions for the 2020 Week 14 slate in the AFC West.

Kansas City Chiefs at Miami Dolphins

As much as it pains me to say it, Raider Nation should actually be cheering for the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend, as the Chiefs are running away with the division, and the Silver and Black look to overtake the Dolphins in the AFC Wild Card race. The Dolphins have decided to turn to Tua Tagovailoa over Ryan Fitzpatrick, and so far, the results have been so-so.

Still, the Dolphins go into this game sitting at 8-4 and could make a real statement with a win against Patrick Mahomes and company. The Chiefs are looking to keep pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and the only bye, so do not expect them to take this one lightly.

Prediction: Chiefs 27, Dolphins 21
