Randy’s Pick
The Kansas City Chiefs are going to be big favorites for obvious reasons, as they’re the better team, and they’ve beaten the Raiders in 9 of the last 10 meetings. However, the Chiefs are on a short week after playing Monday and the Raiders look better since the coaching change. The Raiders defense slowed an elite Dolphins’ offense down last week, and they’re allowing 12.6 points in their last 3 games overall. The Raiders are still in the playoff race. Lot of points for a division game. I’ll take a stab with the home dog.
