Key Factors
Favors Over
This game's spread implies a passing game script for the Raiders, who are -5-point underdogs.
Based on their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Raiders to pass on 61.7% of their chances: the 3rd-highest frequency among all teams this week.
The leading projections forecast this game to see the 4th-largest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 128.5 plays, given the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.
The passing offenses of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (read: zero wind) inside this dome, while run volume may slide.
Our trusted projections expect Kirk Cousins to throw 37.7 passes in this game, on balance: the 4th-most out of all quarterbacks.
Favors Under
The Raiders have called the 4th-fewest plays in football since the start of last season, totaling a lowly 53.0 plays per game.
The Raiders offensive line ranks as the 7th-worst in the league since the start of last season in protecting the passer, which has a negative impact on all air attack stats across the board.
Opposing quarterbacks have passed for the 10th-fewest yards in the league (just 203.0 adjusted yards per game) versus the Chiefs defense since the start of last season.
As it relates to linebackers in covering pass-catchers, Kansas City's unit has been tremendous since the start of last season, grading out as the 6th-best in football.
