Its Raider Week. Your Predictions

[AFCWEST 1,238]

Raiders will be in desperate revenge mode. I expect a dog fight. Chiefs will need their best game and I think they bring it.

I wish the schedule makers had done a better job.  Playing Denver and the Raiders twice each within weeks sucks.

Looks like the league wants in division games down the stretch. The good thing is with wins in the next two weeks Kc could have a nice advantage within the division. Both games , in the next 9 days , will be difficult wins and exciting games to watch.

45-0 Chiefs!

Only way Chiefs lose this one is if they are looking ahead to the Chargers' game.  The Raiders are a mess and the Chiefs don't want another "lap around the stadium" moment.  Chiefs receivers can't keep dropping balls forever.  

31-17

42 to 17 win

Chiefs have been doing well on their scripted drives. If they score early and get up say by a couple of touchdowns? The Raiders will roll over and take it the rest of the game. Only way I see the Chiefs losing is if they have multiple turnovers. Not totally out of the realm of possibility. I like their chances overall.

Agree: I keep saying do not defer. Get the ball and take the lead. This defense plays well when they have a little room for error. They play more aggressive with a lead.

Imagine the offense and defense playing up to capability on the same day.

I guess the first Raiders game was the closest so far wouldn't you say?  I am giddy anytime the Chiefs beat the Raiders. But if we blow them out twice?....that is a successful year IMO. 😆

Better plan is to defer, stop the Raiders, and then take the lead.  Nothing is more satisfying than scoring late in the first half and starting the second on offense again.

Ben Niemann has a pick 6 to ice it.

Yes if you are actually scoring. If not you could be playing from behind. Chiefs first drive and first half have been way better. I still say get the ball and score. Give the defense some breathing room.

Closer game.  Similar to the donk game.

Sorenson deflects it into his hands as he's standing there covering no one

27-10. Feeling generous enough to give them a TD as we'll definitely see some Nieman and Dirty Dan on the field. 

[Holmes4six! 968]

This game to me comes down to how much we abuse Carr. Right off the bat we need to get him uncomfortable and that means hitting him. 
we also need to run the ball and make Carr sit on the bench. I’d like to see some Marty ball. 
chiefs win 31-17.

I trust the defense to hold the opposing team to zero and three points on their opening drive.  Won't always happen, but more often than not.  When the Chiefs have the ball with less than two minutes in the half and are going to get first possession in the second, that seems worth the chance of being three down early.  JMHO

Sure but there is no guarantee Kc has the ball at the end of the half.
