The Kansas City Chiefs are crazy talented, but they’re not playing to the level we’re used to seeing, and everything feels like a chore with them. The Chiefs barely beat a bad Giants team and nearly blew it against a Packers team without Aaron Rodgers. The Las Vegas Raiders seem to run hot and cold, and they have their flaws defensively, but they play their best ball at home and have shown the ability to get up for big games. I’m honestly surprised the Chiefs are favorites here. I’ll take the points with the Raiders, a game they could easily win outright.
