Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had one of his best games of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this season, catching 10 passes for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games.
Despite playing just 21 receiving snaps, Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was targeted six times and had a touchdown in Week 12.
The 2-9 Las Vegas Raiders are on the road in Week 13 against the 10-1 Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are in first place in the AFC West, while the Raiders are last in the same division.
Below are the odds for this game, my best bet, predictions, and best player props.

Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Raiders | +520 | +12.5 (-110) | Over 42.5 (-110) |
Chiefs | -700 | -12.5 (-110) | Under 42.5 (-110) |
Even at 12.5 points and coming off a game where the Chiefs narrowly beat the dreadful Carolina Panthers, I have to take them here.
The only reason to take the Raiders would be simply because it’s 12.5 points.
The Raiders allow nearly two passing touchdowns per game.
Additionally, they allow 28.5 points (29th), 327.5 total yards (14th), 119.5 rushing yards (14th), and 208.1 passing yards (12th) per game.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is coming off a three-touchdown performance.
With the Raiders turning things back to Aidan O’Connell, I have no faith that this team will score.

I discussed the Raiders defense above, but now let’s look at just how bad the offense is.
The Raiders average 18.7 points (26th), 292.6 total yards (28th), 74.6 rushing yards (32nd), and 218 passing yards (16th) per game.
Several Raiders running backs are on the injury report, and they already can’t run the ball.
As for passing, this was with Gardner Minshew under center. Now, it’s O’Connell under center who, in two starts, threw for 279 yards combined.
He had just 52 passing yards in one game before getting injured.
The Raiders haven’t won since Sept. 29, beating Cleveland 20-16.
The Chiefs beat the Raiders earlier this season, 27-20. In that game, Minshew had two passing touchdowns.
In two starts against the Chiefs last year, O’Connell threw for just over 300 yards and had just one passing touchdown.
The Chiefs' offense has been up and down this season, but their defense has still held strong.
They allow 19.8 points (ninth) and just 300.8 total yards (fourth) per game.
At Arrowhead here, look for the Chiefs' defense to come up strong and hold the Raiders to 14 points or less.
The Raiders cannot run the ball, and the Chiefs are third in rushing yards allowed with just 85.3.
The Raiders' success will rely solely on O’Connell and I’m not confident in that whatsoever.

In the last matchup between the Chiefs and Raiders, Kelce made 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown.
Over the last four games, the Raiders have allowed six touchdowns to tight ends.
Kelce hasn’t had a great season when it comes to scoring, with just two touchdowns.
His best game of the season, though, was against the Raiders and getting +130 value, I’m willing to wager he’ll get in the end zone again.

Mahomes has 18 passing touchdowns this season and has multiple touchdown passes in four of the last five games.
In his last matchup against the Raiders, he threw two touchdowns, and I expect it to happen again here.
The Raiders are allowing 1.82 passing touchdowns per game, including multiple touchdowns in each of the last four games. They’ve allowed a total of 12 touchdowns in that span or three per game.
Mahomes has also thrown three touchdowns in each of the last two games.
He’ll likely reach three again here.

In Week 12, Hopkins played just 21 receiving snaps, but he was used often when he was on the field.
He saw six targets, caught five passes, and had 35 yards and a touchdown.
This week, he’ll take on a Raiders team that allows wide receivers nearly one touchdown per game. They’ve allowed at least one in each of the last four games, including two last week against the Denver Broncos.
Hopkins hasn’t been with the team all that long, and with each passing week, he’ll see more snaps. It’s good to see that, despite playing so little, he was targeted the same amount as Xavier Worthy, who played 13 more snaps.
Hopkins will score here.
