The Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs will battle it out on a Black Friday edition of NFL Football! Come chat with us in our open thread. The NFL is always looking for creative ways to bring more football to its viewing audience and for just the second time in its history, it will have a game played on Black Friday. This year’s installment features an AFC West showdown as the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) welcome in the Las Vegas Raiders (2-9). These two teams have faced off 131 times in their histories with the Chiefs holding a 72-54-2 regular season lead, as well as a 2-1 lead in the post-season. The Chiefs have also won seven of the last eight meetings between these two franchises.
This is the second meeting between these two teams this season, with the Chiefs winning 27-20 just four weeks ago. The Raiders are currently on a seven-game losing streak, and they’ve given up at least 27 points in six of those seven losses.
While the Chiefs are 10-1, they’ve looked shaky the past two weeks (arguably even more games than that), where they’ve also allowed at least 27 points to be scored on them. Last week, the Chiefs barely snuck past the Panthers (30-27) and lost to the Bills (30-21) the week before that.
Betting line and pick for the game
The folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook are favoring Kansas City in this game with the betting line being set at Chiefs -12.5 points. The Chiefs certainly look poised to win this game, but 12.5 points is a lot to give up in a rivalry game. I like the Chiefs, but based on how they’ve played this season, it’s hard to count on them to cover.
Prediction: Chiefs 30-21
