Key Details
Kansas City Chiefs
This season for the Kansas City Chiefs has been anything but a success, with their offense collapsing this season. Kansas City has been having a poor season with its offense being ranked around the mid-tier due to a lack of proper game-planning. Along with the offense, the injury to Patrick Mahomes has been crucial and has properly destroyed their season and potentially next year. Despite the offensive struggles, the Chiefs’ defense has been solid, allowing less than 19 points a game. While the defense has been solid, the Kansas City Chiefs could have a rough time in Vegas; they want to keep it up to end the season.
Las Vegas Raiders
While the Kansas City Chiefs are having a poor season, the Las Vegas Raiders wish they had their season, due to poor roster construction and everything falling apart. The Raiders’ offense has been a nightmare with the firing of Chip Kelly during the season, and nothing has improved for a bottom-ranked offense. There is also the defense being a nightmare, being ranked poorly by every NFL analysis group, with Pete Carroll having done a poor job with the team. This Las Vegas Raiders team has been putrid all season, and bettors could easily have them lose this game due to the disaster this team has been all season.
Prediction
With the season ending today, bettors in the house of Las Vegas should easily take the Kansas City Chiefs winning and covering the line over the Raiders due to their superior talent. While the Chiefs’ season has been poor, the Raiders are having another poor season, with an offense that could not move the ball at all. Bettors in the Vegas casinos and apps should take the easy money with the Chiefs and also have them covering due to the Raiders being a poor intimidation of NFL teams this season.
