Raiders at Chiefs: Best Bets for Las Vegas in 2022 Week 5
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders hit the road to take on Kansas City in Week 5, and here are the best bets that could win your some money Monday night.
On Monday night, the Las Vegas Raiders will play in primetime against a divisional rival in the Kansas City Chiefs. A season that started with promise got ugly in a hurry for the Silver and Black, as they lost three straight games, but they bounced back to beat the Denver Broncos in Week 4 at home.
Now, they go on the road to take on the best team in their division year in, and year out in the Chiefs, who are looking to once again contend for a Super Bowl title. Las Vegas has gone into Kansas City and won before, as early as the 2020 season, when Jon Gruden famously did a victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium.
That was only the second time Las Vegas has beaten Kansas City since the 2014 season, a trend the new regime for the Silver and Black are trying to change.
Best Las Vegas Raiders Bets Week 5
Peter Dewey over at BetSided.com gave his take on this matchup in terms of betting, and he likes the over when these two battle it out Monday night. Right now, FanDuel Sportsbook has the over/under at 51.5, so Dewey obviously expects an offensive game, especially from the Chiefs.
One special bet I would keep an eye on, if the Raiders get the ball first, is for the first drive of the game to end in a field goal attempt. That seems to be the MO of the Silver and Black in recent years, as they drive down the field and stall, so +420 may be too good of odds to pass up on.
I also agree with Dewey with this game going over the 51.5 points, as the Raiders offense has looked good across the last six quarters. There are going to be plenty of fireworks Monday night inside Arrowhead Stadium, and if you want to make some money, rely on the points.
