Las Vegas Raiders: Game by game predictions after the 2021 bye week

Week 10 Nov. 14 vs. Kansas City Chiefs (SNF)

The Raiders and Chiefs went toe to toe in two thrilling games in 2020 as the away team won each time they faced each other. Las Vegas went on their now infamous victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium, a Jon Gruden idea most likely, and the Chiefs responded by winning a heartbreaker a few weeks later at Allegiant Stadium.

It should be noted that both stadiums were completely empty so there was no home-field advantage for either team and the weather in Kansas City was mild during their early-season matchup.

This season the Raiders get their date with Kansas City at Allegiant on Sunday Night Football and they are facing a Chiefs team amid a crisis. Even with the win over the Giants the Chiefs are only at .500 and have a tough visit from Green Bay ahead of this game and are still searching for their identity as a team.

The teams will likely split this series and we give the Raiders the edge at home thanks to the advantage of playing in front of a largely pro-Raiders crowd. Kansas City fans travel well and will have this date circled on their calendars but even if it was a 50-50 split the Raiders look like the better team through 8 weeks.

Win – Record: 7-2
