On Sunday, the 5-4 Kansas City Chiefs are on the road as they look to extend their win streak to three games with a victory against the hosting Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders, 5-3, are also in desperate need of a win as they look to stop a recent skid. Vegas is 2-3 in its last five games, Clark Griswold Jersey and a lo s to a bitter division rival would be a tough pill to swallow. Both teams will surely come prepared to play on Sunday Night Football. How will things unfold? The crew makes their predictions. :The Chiefs' defense has strung together two solid games against offenses quarterbacked by Daniel Jones and Jordan Love. Their offense has been hit-and-mi s, with far more mi ses. Mike Remmers and Lucas Niang KC's top two right tackles are out against a strong Raiders pa s-rush. Based on the Raiders' weakened secondary and the fact that Patrick Mahomes played better football than 13 points indicated last week, I'm giving the Chiefs' offense the narrow benefit of the doubt in a game they can't afford to lose. Well, for the second week in a row, it looks like I'm the only member of the staff predicting a Chiefs lo s. Maybe there's some reverse psychology or reverse jinxing going on here? In all seriousne s, I could absolutely see the Chiefs winning this one. Until they go out and prove that they're capable of beating a good team at this point in the season, though, I won't pick them to do so. This game will be a terrific barometer for both teams. If the Chiefs take care of busine s on the road, they're about as close to being officially "back" as a team can get. With that said, the Raiders have just as much riding on this one Duncan Keith Jersey and both the home crowd andemotional element may give them the slight edge here. I don't feel great about this pick, but I'm too stubborn to change it. Its still hard to trust the Bobby Orr Jersey Chiefs. However, the Raiders may be even harder to trust at the moment. Theyve lost their head coach, most lethal wide receiver notable cornerback for a variety of reasons. They're also coming off a lo s to the New York Giants. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are coming off back-to-back wins. There is a little bit of momentum there, even though the wins havent been impre sive. The Chiefs' defense has looked much better and the special teams have been carrying the team. If the offense can click against a weak Raiders secondary, look out, AFC West!Scroll to Continue I am not doing it. I am not going to pick the Raiders. All logic so far this season has me leaning slightly Raiders, especially because the Chiefs' right tackles are dealing with injuries and Andrew Wylie will start against Maxx Crosby and Yannick Ngakoue. Patrick Mahomes needs to have his best game in the pocket of the season to neutralize the Raiders' rush and get the offense humming again. I also want to believe in the Chiefs' new resurgent defense, but the competition in Henri Jokiharju Jersey the last two games was not up to par. If the Chiefs lose, their serious hopes for this season are probably over. I'm going to bet they step up and take control, despite the many "buts" heading into this game. Its troublesome to think about how the Chiefs banged-up offensive line could fare with Maxx Crosby and Yannick Ngakoue hosting a fired-up Las Vegas crowd on Sunday night. On the flip side, the Chiefs wont have to gameplan for Henry Ruggs IIIs breakaway speed as they did in last years lo s. And this is a Raiders group that just lost to the same team Kansas City beat two weeks prior, right? The New York Giants were able to upset Las Vegas last Sunday largely through red zone and third-down execution on defense. The Chiefs defense? It has allowed just 6-of-24 conversions on third down attempts over the last two weeks. It's also equipped to take advantage of Derek Carrs struggles against pre sure, and could provide the Chiefs an edge in this must-win battle.The Chiefs are hitting their stride on defense, having given up 24 points total over their last two games. Unfortunately, the offense has gone in the other direction, having only scored 36 points total in their last three games. Good thing the Raiders are next up, because they represent a great opportunity to fix the offensive struggles while maintaining some positive defensive momentum. Vegas is a team in free fall, having just lost to the Giants after losing their head coach and best wide Chicago Blackhawks Jersey receiver to off-field i sues. There is no reason the Chiefs should lose this game if they even want to pretend to matter in the 2021 season. Derek Car is going to be so sad.Read More:
