The Kansas City Chiefs (13-3) finish the regular season against the Las Vegas Raiders (6-10) Saturday with kickoff from Allegiant Stadium set for 4:30 p.m. ET (ESPN/ABC). Below, we look at Chiefs vs. Raiders odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our NFL picks and predictions.
The Chiefs have clinched the AFC West and are fighting for the No. 1 seed in the conference. Kansas City has won 4 straight games and hasn’t lost a game by more than 3 points this season; however, they have only covered the spread 4 times this year. All 4 covers have come against NFC opponents (Arizona, San Francisco, Seattle and Tampa Bay).
Kansas City is coming off a 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos, failing to cover as 13.5-point favorites. MVP candidate QB Patrick Mahomes leads the league in passing yards (5,048) and passing TDs (40).
The Raiders have been eliminated from playoff contention so this matchup is more about divisional pride for them. They recently benched QB Derek Carr, who decided to leave the team altogether. Carr was replaced by Jarrett Stidham, who threw for 365 yards, 3 TDs and 2 INTs in a 37-34 overtime loss to the 49ers last week.
