Why Bet the Over:
✅ The Chiefs offense will be operating at full strength in this game, as they still have seeding to play for. They have the top scoring offense in the NFL at 29.1 points per game, and will pace this over.
✅ Las Vegas had some pop offensively against the 49ers in their last outing with Jarrett Stidham at quarterback. They scored 34 points against the best defense in the league, and will do their part to help this total.
✅ The Raiders are one of just six teams in the NFL that have gone over their totals in more than half of their games. They are 8-7-1 to the over on the year, and will finish the season with one last over here.

Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs come into this game on a four-game winning streak, with their last outing being a win over the Denver Broncos. That game was closer than anticipated, with the Chiefs allowing 24 points in a three-point victory. Here, the Chiefs will look for a more convincing win, with a potential top seed in the AFC on the line.
Kansas City needs a win in this game and a loss by the Bills and Bengals over the final two weeks to get the one seed. As a result, we should see the Chiefs play their full array of weapons for this matchup with the Raiders. That typically has not meant good things for the Raiders in recent editions of this rivalry game.
Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders have been eliminated from playoff contention and lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. They got a great performance out of Jarrett Stidham in the place of Derek Carr at quarterback. But their defense let them down, which is a risk against the Kansas City Chiefs this week as well.
For the Raiders, the question going into this game will be whether or not they play their star offensive weapons. Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams would be very helpful against the Chiefs. But it would also be smart to rest them so as not to risk injuries that could ruin next season for Las Vegas.
