KC to win-203
TLDR: Kansas City has a bye next, nothing to save and a coach who wins in this building, against a Raiders interior line missing a starter in front of Chris Jones.
Point
- Indoor record
Mahomes is 16-2 under a roof since 2018, with 43 TD and 6 INT, so a closed building suits him.
- Reid at Allegiant
Andy Reid is 6-1 at Allegiant Stadium, and 1 more win makes him the winningest coach ever in the building.
- Bye on deck
Kansas City is off in Week 5 and hosts the Chargers on October 18, so there is no lookahead and no reason to hold anything back.
- Raiders right guard
Jackson Powers-Johnson is out with a groin injury, and Caleb Rogers makes the start at right guard with Chris Jones lined up across the interior.
Counterpoint
- Chiefs left tackle
Josh Simmons misses his 4th straight game with a back injury, leaving undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson to handle Maxx Crosby's side.
- Kubiak knows Walker
Klint Kubiak coached Kenneth Walker III as Seattle's coordinator last season, so the Raiders should know the habits of the back running KC's offense.
Neutral
- Weather
No weather — indoors at Allegiant Stadium.
- Last meeting
The Raiders won 14-12 here on January 4, but both teams played plenty of backups, so it says little about this one.
