Chiefs Host Raiders on Oct. 19 as Heavy Favorites in AFC West Matchup

Oddsmakers make Kansas City a double-digit favorite at Arrowhead.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, with tickets starting around $217.
  • Kansas City is 3-3 after a 30-17 win over Detroit, while Las Vegas moved to 2-4 with a 20-10 victory against Tennessee.
  • BetMGM lists the Chiefs at -11.5 with a 45.5 total and moneyline prices of Kansas City -750 and Las Vegas +525, while FanDuel shows a similar spread and early picks leaning to Chiefs -10.5 and Under 45.5.
  • Projection models heavily favor Kansas City, including ESPN’s estimate of roughly a 79.5% win probability and other simulations near 77%.
  • The Raiders face ongoing offensive issues with protection and the run game, Geno Smith’s turnover concerns, and uncertainty around TE Brock Bowers’ knee, as coach Pete Carroll says they must play very well to have a chance.
