Kansas City has had the higher hand of late. Andy Reid is 15-3 towards the Raiders straight up, and 12-6 towards the unfold, since taking up as head coach of the Chiefs in 2013, and he has by no means seen his squad as an underdog in these matchups. The Chiefs might be a landing favourite Monday night time as they appear to proceed their profitable methods over the Raiders.
The betting menu for this matchup is intensive, however not all the choices are worthy of your wagering greenback. Instead, listed below are a number of gadgets to think about on the betting window or in your favourite sportsbook app.
Pick: Over 42.5 receiving yards, playable as much as 45.
The Pro Bowl slot receiver missed the previous two video games with a concussion however was a full participant in follow this week for the primary time since Week 2. It’s a fantastic bounce-back spot for Renfrow. The Chiefs have allowed slot receivers to catch 38 of 49 targets for 376 yards and 4 touchdowns, equal to a 125.9 passer ranking, and are largely utilizing zone protection (65 p.c of the time, together with a cover-two zone 25 p.c of the time). Renfrow, in the meantime, has caught 82 of 101 targets within the slot towards zone protection since 2019, tallying 878 yards and three touchdowns and averaging practically six yards after the catch.
Looking for one thing spicier? A Renfrow anytime landing at +250 or higher is price a glance.
Since 2002, 682 groups have been between seven- or eight-point favorites, and 364 (53 p.c) have seen a lead of at the least 15 or extra factors, a break-even fee for a -110 wager (wager $110 to win $100). The Chiefs, in the meantime, have led by at the least 15 factors in 14 of their previous 18 video games (78 p.c) towards the Raiders.
Davante Adams over 75.5 receiving yards
Neil likes the over for one Las Vegas large receiver. I prefer it for the Raiders’ different beginning wideout as nicely.
The Chiefs not solely have struggled towards slot receivers but in addition towards No. 1 receivers over the previous three weeks:
Over the previous three weeks, No. 1 receivers have 24 catches for 288 yards and three touchdowns towards the Chiefs, who rank 29th in defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) towards opponents’ prime pass-catchers. The quantity actually must be there for Adams, who’s averaging 11.8 targets per game (solely the Los Angeles Rams’ Cooper Kupp is averaging extra). The alternative also needs to be there, significantly if Adams is being shadowed by Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed, who has allowed 21 receptions on 27 targets this season.
With Renfrow again for the primary time since Week 2, Adams ought to have much more room to roam. Plus, the Raiders most likely should air it out as a result of Kansas City’s defensive energy is towards the run and as a result of the Chiefs are prone to rating with ease, which means Las Vegas should attempt to sustain.
