Raiders vs Chiefs expert picks
Adam Kaufman: Chiefs 27, Raiders 23
I'll take the Chiefs, though I might be talking myself into it. Yes, the Raiders' first three opponents are a combined 1-8. But Las Vegas is 3-0 with Kirk Cousins, and it won its first two games without Brock Bowers. He returned against the Saints and promptly caught 10 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Maxx Crosby can make Patrick Mahomes uncomfortable, and Bowers gives Kansas City another problem to solve. Who'd be surprised by a Raiders upset in Sin City? I trust Mahomes and the Chiefs' defense just enough to pick the visitors. Honestly, it would be fun to be wrong.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz: Chiefs 30, Raiders 19
Kirk Cousins can't keep firing away like this ... Can he? Once viewed as a mere placeholder, the veteran signal-caller
has tied for the NFL lead with nine touchdown passes while repeatedly staying cool under pressure. Here's guessing, however, that the Raiders come back to earth a bit after a stunning 3-0 start. Kenneth Walker III will be too hard for Las Vegas' defense to contain after it showed some vulnerabilities two weeks ago in a win over the Chargers.
Nicholas Brinkerhoff: Raiders 27, Chiefs 23
This season has been wacky, but don't underestimate the Raiders. They can easily win this game. Klint Kubiak has been everything Vegas could've asked for, raising the floor and ceiling for the silver-and-black. Kirk Cousins is rejuvenated and Brock Bowers is a matchup nightmare, while Vegas' defensive additions have been as advertised. For the first time in a long time, Raider Nation has a reason to cheer. This is a statement game that shows Vegas isn't bluffing.
