Team Recent Performance

Las Vegas Raiders

On November 25, they faced a 19-29 defeat against the Broncos while being 6-point underdogs, and the competition was over 41.5 in total. A week earlier, losing again to the Dolphins, they fell 19-34 with 8 points to the underdogs, hitting over 43.5 in total. On November 4, they faced a loss of 24-41 to the Bengals, leaving an 8-point deficit as this game was played over 44.5. On October 28, they lost by 20-27 to the Chiefs; they covered as 9-point underdogs, going over a 43-point total. Finally, they played with the Chargers on October 21, losing 15-20 but covered a 7-point spread, with a game total under 43.

Kansas City Chiefs

Narrowly escaping the Panthers on November 25, they triumphed over them by a narrow margin of 30-27 while being 10.5-point favorites. Though that made them fail to cover the spread, it did put them above the total that had been pegged at 43. Exactly a week before that, on November 21, they got beaten by the Bills 21-30, with that game being held at over and under 47 total points. On November 11, the Chiefs eked out an unimpressive victory over the Broncos with a score of 16-14, failing to cover the spread of 7.5 points while being under 42.5 points in total. Against the Buccaneers, they clinched their 30-24 victory as 9-point favorites over the ante-bellum line but again fell below that total at 45.5.  Finally, they managed to defeat the Raiders the previous week on October 28 by a score of 27-20, but the spread failed to cover the 9 points. It has a lot of people in fine form when it comes to winning, but always has some chances to fall to or even repeat its mistakes with high points.

Team Head-to-Head Matchup

In head-to-head comparison, the Kansas City Chiefs (8-2) dominate the Las Vegas Raiders (2-8) in terms of performance. Both teams fare evenly against the spread (5-5), while their over/under records match at 7-3. The Chiefs’ per-game average is 32.9 compared to Las Vegas’ poor 20.2. It’s almost about even rushing yards; the Raiders right now have 101.6 while the Chiefs have 101.7. Kansas City has the edge on passing statistics: they average 272.2 yards per game on 37.9 attempts compared to Las Vegas at 220.7 yards on 32.3 attempts. The over-all total, therefore, shows an advantage for the Chiefs at 373.9 total yards over 322.3 overall and a 0.6 to 1.5 margin in turnovers per game. Thus, indicatively efficient and a powerful offense are portrayed.
