TNF Picks: Raiders or Chiefs?

Chiefs. They have the raiders number.

hopefully chiefs to give tom brady a full 1 game lead on homefield!

Yall are now making nervous about this game haha.

KC. It will be a tight game, though.

All you people picking the Chiefs. There's a reason why the Raiders are 10-2. Their GM has done an amazing job getting playmakers on both sides of the ball, and Del Rio looks like a great fit as head coach.

While true, the Raiders have some major issues on the defensive side. Irvin and Mack have been great lately, but the secondary and the d-line have been suspect.

I'm glad Rex decided to not keeping giving LeSean McCoy the ball in the 2nd half, because the Raiders could not stop him in the first half. 17 rushes for 130 yards. Ware last game vs the Raiders averaged nearly 6 YPC and had 131 yards. Throw in Alex Smith who has been efficient passing the ball (was 19/22 vs the Raiders week 6) and can elude the rush. Chiefs just literally run the ball on 1st and 2nd down, then set up 3rd and manageable, which keeps the defense guessing. Raiders had trouble defending this last time and were fatigued in the 2nd half.

And there's a reason why the Chiefs are 9-3 and have won 7 of their last 8.

The wind chill is gonna be like 12 tomorrow too.

Even if the Patriots win out, if the Raiders lost to Denver - it would tie them in common opponents at 4-1, the Raiders have a big lead in the vaunted Strength of Schedule and Strength of Victory tiebreakers.

The Raiders probably aren't going to win the West.

Y'all are looking at the wrong team

Whether you're worried about them or not, they are likely going to win the AFC West.

There's a reason why KC is 9-3, and they laid an arse whipping on the Raiders in Oakland earlier this year.
