The Kansas City Chiefs visit Ring Central Coliseum in Oakland, California on Sunday to play AFC West rival the Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 40-26 in Week 1 on Sunday. Kansas City lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a shoulder injury, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 378 yards and three touchdowns. Sammy Watkins had 198 yards receiving and caught all three of Mahomes TD passes.

Oakland played Monday Night Football in Week 1 and defeated the Denver Broncos 24-16. Derek Carr threw for one touchdown and rookie running back Josh Jacobs scored two touchdowns on the ground as the Oakland Raiders put the Antonio Brown saga squarely behind them with a strong opening game victory. Jacobs finished with 85 yards rushing while Tyrell Williams led all receivers with 105 yards and one touchdown.

Patrick Mahomes has 378 yards passing and three touchdowns. LeSean McCoy leads the Chiefs in rushing with 10 carries for 81 yards, while Damien Williams has 13 carries for 26 yards and one touchdown. Sammy Watkins leads all Chiefs wide receivers with nine receptions for 198 yards and three touchdowns. Juan Thornhill leads the Chiefs in tackles with eight.

Oakland quarterback Derek Carr has thrown for 259 yards and one touchdown. The leading rusher for the Raiders is Josh Jacobs with 23 carries for 85 yards and two touchdowns. Tyrell Williams is the leading receiver with six receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown. Karl Joseph leads the Raiders in tackles with seven.

Both teams started their respective seasons with victories. Kansas City’s offense has the potential to be the best in the NFL again in 2019 as Patrick Mahomes started the season with 378 yards passing in Week 1. The home team (Oakland) in this matchup has covered the number in each of the last 5. The Chiefs offense will wear down the Raiders defense but take the home dogs to cover. Final Score Prediction, Kansas City Chiefs win but fail to cover ATS 30-24.
