The Kansas City Chiefs (9-5, 7-6-1 ATS) and Las Vegas Raiders (6-8, 7-5-2 ATS) are the bitterest of rivals going back to their AFL days. However, truth be told, it hasn’t been much of a rivalry of late and the Raiders vs Chiefs odds prove it.

As they meet in Week 16 of the NFL schedule, the Chiefs are 6-0 straight up in the last six games against Las Vegas. Kansas City is also 9-1 SU at home in the last 10 meetings with the Raiders.

Factoring in the spread, it’s also a lopsided affair. Overall, KC is 10-5 ATS in the last 15 games against Las Vegas. At home, the Chiefs are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games facing the Raiders.

No wonder then that Kansas City is the 10-point home chalk in the Chiefs vs Raiders odds.

Las Vegas vs Kansas City Betting Trends

In the NFL public betting splits at the time of writing, Kansas City is getting 55% of spread handle and 94% of moneyline handle. The Raiders are 4-1-1 ATS over their last six games, but they are 1-4 ATS in the last five contests against the Chiefs. Kansas City is 1-3-1 ATS in the past five games.

The Chiefs are 15-5 SU in their last 20 games and 13-2 SU in their last 15 when facing an AFC opponent. Las Vegas is 0-5 SU in the club’s past five road games.

Nine of the Raiders’ last 12 games have gone under, as have seven of the Chiefs’ past 10 games and each of their past five home games. On the other hand, six of the last seven Las Vegas vs Kansas City games went over.

Kansas City is the second betting choice to win the AFC in the NFL Conference odds at +275. The Raiders are set with second-worst odds of +50000 to wear the crown as AFC champions.

Raiders Coming Off Historic Win

In last week’s 63-21 rout of the Los Angeles Chargers, the Raiders established a franchise record for points scored in a game. To say that productivity came out of nowhere would be an understatement. Prior to that Week 15 win on TNF, Las Vegas had managed to score more than 20 points just twice all season.

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell threw for four TDs in that game. That gives him eight TD passes on the season against his seven interceptions.

Chiefs’ Mahomes Is Money vs Las Vegas

Perhaps the best bet of the week is to take the Chiefs and QB Patrick Mahomes over Las Vegas. Since Mahomes took over as KC’s QB1 in 2018, he’s owned the Raiders.

Kansas City is 10-1 SU and 7-4 ATS against Las Vegas over that span. The Chiefs have never scored fewer than 28 points in any game against the Raiders with Mahomes under center. According to research compiled by the NFL, the Chiefs are the first team in league history to score 28 or more points in 11 straight games against another team.

As a double-digit favorite at home against Las Vegas with Mahomes at QB, the Chiefs are 3-1 SU and ATS.

Raiders vs Chiefs Prediction

When these two teams met in November, the Raiders led early by as much as 14 points before falling 31-17. Las Vegas RB Josh Jacobs went over 100 yards in that game. He’s unlikely to play in this game due to a quad injury.

You might think 10 points are a lot to lay. However, Kansas City is 2-0 ATS this season when a home favorite of 10+ points.

Raiders vs Chiefs Picks: Kansas City Chiefs -10 (-115)
