Why Bet on the Kansas City Chiefs?
Among the great candidates to reach the Super Bowl are the Kansas City Chiefs, the defending NFL champions. Led by Patrick Mahomes, they are aiming to secure their place in the postseason soon.
The Chiefs are coming off a 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium, raising their record to 9-5 in the Western Division of the American Conference. However, they cannot boast of being a great home team, as they have lost three of seven games in front of their home crowd. What’s more, they have lost fewer on the road, with only two setbacks.
There is no doubt that Kansas moves to the rhythm of Mahomes, who against the Patriots had 27 of 37 successful passes, with 305 yards passing and two touchdown passes, although he was intercepted twice. This regular season, he has 25 touchdown passes, but his number of interceptions is 13, which is not low. However, this quarterback grows in the postseason.
For the Chiefs, Joshua Williams, Donovan Smith, and Isiah Pacheco are questionable, while Skyy Moore could be out.
Why Bet on the Las Vegas Raiders?
The Vegas Raiders, at one point, had a chance to fight the Chiefs for the division, but, inconsistency has them with a negative record. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers 63-21 in their best performance of the season.
Quarterback Aidan O’Connell finished 20-of-34 in passing, 248 yards passing, and four throws for touchdowns to his teammates. Reaching the touchdown zone were Zamir White, Brandon Bolden, Davante Adams, Michael Mayer, Jakobbi Meyers, and Tre Tucker twice.
However, this does not hide the fact that the team’s record is 6-8, surpassed by Kansas and the Denver Broncos, in a division that has not shined at a high level.
O’Connell, 25, has had to carry the team’s responsibility, as starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been injured.
The Las Vegas team has Kolton Miller, Josh Jacobs, and Andre James as questionable.
Final Betting Analysis: Chiefs vs. Raiders
The Raiders are coming off a big win, but their future is out of the postseason. So, Kansas City will take the win in front of their home crowd.
The numbers at 1XBET have the Chiefs as favorites. The Moneyline for them shows 1.21, while the Raiders have 4.42.
This season, these teams have already played twice, and both games ended in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs, the first by 31-13 and the second by 31-17.
Go for a win in the Chiefs’ Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.21, you will gain $21 for a total payout of $121.
