With the Las Vegas Raiders traveling to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in Week 14, we look at some X-factors for the Silver and Black.

The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs are two teams that seem destined towards different directions, at least if recent success and team records were taken into account.

The Chiefs are of course on pace towards yet another AFC West crown heading into this Week 14 matchup, while the Raiders are on a crash course of missing the playoffs in what seems like another meltdown of a season.

At 8-4, the Chiefs are surely the favorite at home in this contest, especially considering the Raiders at 6-6 have already crumbled against the Chiefs in their matchup earlier in the season, which was a home game at that.

The 6-6 record is honestly surprising considering how and the Raiders have looked following their Week eight bye. Following the bye, the Raiders have lost four of five games and will have their hands completely full in this one.

There is always a chance in sports, and the Raiders did shock the Chiefs last season at Arrowhead Stadium. I will take a look at some X-Factors that can be in place for the Raiders to exact some much-needed revenge on their conference rival.
