Las Vegas Raiders: 2021 season game-by-game predictions

Week 10 – vs. Kansas City Chiefs: Loss

I’m not sure there is ever a good time to catch the Cheifs, but the possibility of a four-game winning streak and a big game at home is all you can ask. Plus, the Chiefs will be coming off a challenging game against the Green Bay Packers, so the time could be right for what would be considered an upset.

Unfortunately, the Chiefs have all the making of being the best team in the AFC, so all of that could end up not mattering one bit. Look for Gus Bradley to try and earn his paycheck in this game, as he had some decent success against Mahomes last season with the Chargers.

The Raiders should be able to move the ball on offense, but asking them to replicate the high-scoring battles they had with the Cheifs in 2020 is a tough ask. In the end, the winning streak is over for the Raiders, who now go back to the drawing board against Cincinnati the following week.

Record: 5-4
