Kansas City can clinch the AFC No. 1 seed with a win and a Buffalo loss and the Chiefs have won nine of their past 10 after defeating Denver 27-24. The Broncos came out inspired in interim coach Jerry Rosburg's first game, but Patrick Mahomes passed for two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and L'Jarius Sneed made a key interception to seal the victory. This week Kansas City's opponent will not be so fired up as the Raiders can't wait to end a very disappointing season especially after coming up just short and losing in overtime to San Francisco. Las Vegas already has benched its starting quarterback, Derek Carr, in favor of Jarrett Stidham, who performed admirably completing 23 of 34 for 365 yards and three TDs with two interceptions. However, it's unknown if he can perform that well two weeks in a row after the Chiefs can review film and he is dealing with a minor elbow injury. Chase Garbers will be the backup QB for the Raiders. Kansas City has gone OVER three of its past four games and the Raiders sailed OVER by 30 points against the 49ers. The past five meetings have gone OVER, including the Chiefs' 30-29 win on Oct. 10. The Raiders are 4-12 ATS their past 16 games after allowing at least 30 points their previous game and they have gone OVER five of six home games and Kansas City is 10-2 OVER its past 12 on the road. Take the Chiefs and the OVER.
