12 weeks into the NFL season, one of professional football’s oldest, most storied rivalries finally gets the stage. The (7-3) Kansas City Chiefs (-9)
and the (5-6) Las Vegas Raiders (+9) will battle for the 129th time on Sunday afternoon at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada; the game kicks off at 3:25 PM Arrowhead time.
The Chiefs entered the weekend as 8.5-point favorites, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. That reflects Kansas City only losing once in this head-to-head matchup since quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the reins. However, the Raiders have won two of three games since firing head coach Josh McDaniels and replacing him with interim coach Antonio Pierce, revitalized as they sit in position to contend for the postseason this year.
