Raiders vs. Chiefs: Point Spread, Total & Prediction

But if the 7-8 Raiders can knock off the 10-5 Chiefs (1:25 p.m. kickoff) it will rank as one of the team’s signature victories of 2015, another signal that the team is on the rise and equal the franchise’s best record since 2002, matching the. I hated playing on that.

But it’s easy to argue the defense has given the Raiders a fair chance to win each of the past six games and has done so behind a young group.

In this final game of the season I would love for Carr to, as well as showing of his arm strength, this game I would also like for Carr as I mentioned earlier, to remind us that his decision making, and leadership skills have developed as well. “Everything has been better than past year, so that’s nice”. So we don’t really think about it, but it’s been cool.

I’d like to see a few more turnovers, possibly by rookie sensation Marcus Peters, but ultimately I just want to see a win.

From a nice touchdown catch by Michael Crabtree, Derek Carr being sacked unnecessarily to Mychal Rivera being unaware that he needed to get out of bounds to stop the clock, the Raiders season was displayed in one quarter of football Sunday. Things didn’t work out quite the way we wanted them to, but we kept fighting and we’re going to continue to fight throughout this last game.

“He was unstoppable”, Woodson said. “You try to separate the two, but it’s hard”.

The Raiders have also given Mack more of a free leash under new head coach Jack Del Rio than he had a year ago. He has seen it before.

Oakland is 7-8 against the spread this season while Kansas City has been 8-7. Kansas City needed a victory to win the division and go to the playoffs, but the Raiders rallied for a 41-38 overtime win to knock the Chiefs out of the postseason.

It’s a classy and creative way to thank Woodson for his time on his team despite the team not doing so well. We feel like we’ve done a solid job in that category, and that’s not one that ends.

That experience tells Woodson that Sunday could be meaningful.

Meanwhile, the Steelers don’t need a long check list of results to go their way for them to sneak their way into the Playoffs.

“It’s definitely going to be beneficial for us to get our feet wet a little bit and just take that and roll with it into the offseason”, Heeney said.

Andy Reid likes to point to the DNA of his team when asked about its remarkable turnaround, from a ragtag 1-5 bunch to a group that’s won a franchise record-tying nine straight games.

“This has been cool, it’s been fun”, Carr said of the record chase, “but my goals are a lot higher than that”.

Del Rio doesn’t think so. After that, then they can look at the Bills vs Jets game. Kansas City needs a win and a Denver loss to capture the AFC West title.

The Chiefs have come too far now to let the Raiders put a damper on their momentum heading into the playoffs. On Sept. 6, 1998, Woodson played his first regular-season game at Arrowhead.
