This is an 8* MAYHEM play on the Chiefs.

I like the Chiefs to bury the Raiders at home. The Bills are coming to town next week, so Kansas City will have to be careful to not get caught looking ahead. At the same time, it is in fact extra motivation here to secure a solid victory before that difficult matchup.

The Raiders are 1-3 afer their 32-23 win over Denver last weekend. That's only delaying the inevitable though. It's going to be a difficult climb for the Raiders, and with a chance to essentially drive an early nail into their season's hopes, I look for Patrick Mahomes to do just that.

Las Vegas is averaging 24 PPG, while allowing 25. It's been particularly poor against the pass as well.

The Chiefs are averaging 32.3 PPG, while allowing 24. Kansas City has a big opportunity here to get back on track on the defensive side of the ball facing this average Raiders' offensive attack.

The Chiefs are also interestingly 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine Monday Night games, while Las Vegas is just 1-5 ATS in its last six on the road.

Raiders' QB Dereck Carr has thrown four INT's on the road already.

Look for the CHIEFS to pull away down the stretch for the comfortable ATS cover.

Good luck, NP
