The AFC West finally did the Raiders a favor. The Kansas City Chiefs got beat by Tampa Bay on Sunday, giving the Silver and Black a chance to go a full game up on the competition. In order to do that, they have to beat the Houston Texans on Monday night in Mexico City. Las Vegas believes that will happen, considering the Raiders six-point favorites in this matchup of division leaders. Just because the Raiders are expected to win doesn’t mean they will. They’ll need key contributions from several important sources outside the team’s superstars to head home with an 8-2 record, sitting alone atop the AFC West.
