Outlook for the Raiders against the Chiefs

The Raiders have struggled against the Chiefs ever since Andy Reid took over the team. In 2020, the Raiders were as close as they possibly could be to sweeping the Chiefs until a defensive breakdown from Johnathan Abram cost the Raiders the game.

Last season, the Raiders were swept against the Chiefs including two blowout losses in which the Chiefs scored over 40 and the Raiders scored under 15 in both games. With the talent that the Raiders added throughout the roster and the talent that the Chiefs have lost I believe that the Raiders can and will sweep the Kansas City Chiefs when they play in weeks five and 18 this season.
