00:00Chiefs and Raiders play some squirrely games over the years.
00:03You know, definitely once a year, it feels like the Raiders either win, Joe, or cover
00:09against the Chiefs, no matter how bad the Raiders are.
00:12I don't know that that's this week because the Raiders are 3-0, so you're not going to
00:16get even close to the points that you would have gotten had the Raiders started 2-1 or
00:201-2 or even 0-3.
00:22Odds makers are telling us that the Chiefs are pretty much significantly better than
00:27the Raiders.
00:27They're laying 4-1, but it's not like your 9s and 10s that it's been over the last couple
00:31of weeks.
00:32Total, 47-1, I would say, boy, a huge prove-it game for the Raiders.
00:38Even if they don't win this game, Joe, if they keep this one close and show that they
00:41can hang with KC for four quarters, I think the believers will start to come out in Las
00:46Vegas.
00:47Well, I've been very dismissive of the Raiders, but here we are in the first week of October
00:51and they're undefeated, so we can't be dismissive of them.
00:53So rather than be dismissive, and you put it perfectly, the Chiefs, even at the Chiefs
00:59peak and the Raiders' lowest point, the Raiders have given them some fit sometimes and even
01:03beat them a couple years ago at home.
01:05We all remember that late in the season.
01:06Nobody saw that win coming.
01:08So for some reason, it's just like the Raiders just find the best version of themselves against
01:12the Chiefs.
01:13I'd love to say that the stadium's going to be rocking here with the Chiefs coming
01:16to town, but I just don't know what that fan base is like.
01:18It feels like a lot of people get free tickets, you know, as comps when they get a couple
01:22drinks at Vegas.
01:23Now, I just don't know if Raider Nation's quite the same black hole it used to be.
01:27If it is, this is the day to show up for it.
01:29You're 3-0.
01:30You're ready to go.
01:31I would say Brock Bowers is the one thing I'm most focused on in this game.
01:34He is a problem.
01:37Over 72.5 receiving yards for him.
01:39You could pair that with a touchdown at plus 185, because I do think he finds a way to
01:43score in this game.
01:44Brock Bowers is an incredible talent, and they are going to feed him the football quite a
01:48bit in this contest, because frankly, that's what you do in a situation like this, especially
01:53when you're playing an individual opponent as good as the Chiefs.
01:56And we'll see that volume for Ken Walker has been absurdly high to start the year.
02:00Can it continue?
02:02I think it has to in this game today.
02:04Yeah, it feels like the Chiefs game plan has completely changed to the run and gun to
02:10the running game, and I think the Raiders are going to have to run this game too.
02:13So I'd like a little under action today, I think, on this one.
02:15Under 47.5 in Las Vegas.
02:17Under 48.5 in Las Vegas.
