It is important to not keep your mind closed if you’re a sports bettor. If you go into the season thinking one thing and stick to only that, you’re putting yourself at risk. The Raiders and Chiefs take each other on today, and there are a lot of reasons to question both teams, but both look like some of the best teams in the league, and they face each other today.

Coming into this season, the Chiefs were looking to avenge what was a terrible season by their standards last year. It ended before Patrick Mahomes got injured, but that was the final straw. Mahomes rehabbed and came back to start this year, and has led them to a 3-0 record coming into today.
Travis Kelce looked old last season, and still doesn’t quite look great this year, but does lead the league in yards after the catch (minus Jaylen Warren who has played one more game). The addition of Kenneth Walker III seems to have opened the offense and they look more dynamic once again.
The Raiders have played three football games this season and won them all. Last season, the Raiders won three football games all year. Perhaps the change is a better coach and a better quarterback. There are still some concerns — the defense isn’t one you’d want to count on, and the receiving options outside of Brock Bowers can’t always be relied upon.
Much of the credit should go to Kirk Cousins, who is not just managing the games, but thriving in them. The team is getting their star running back, Alshon Jeanty, into the action with both handoffs and putting him in space to catch the ball and make people miss. Perhaps the Raiders can go from #1 pick to the playoffs in one year.
This should be among the best games of the day as the two AFC West rivals look to claim the top spot in the division. Fanatics Sportsbook is giving you a top offer to bet $20 on the game and earn $350 in FanCash using promo code FOXNEWS350.
