It’s Kansas City Chiefs week as the Las Vegas Raiders hit the road and head to Arrowhead Stadium, looking to pull off a major upset. We’re also nearing the halfway point of the season in Week 7, meaning
our Silver and Black Pride Pick’em competition is heating up, and people are starting to separate themselves from the rest of the pack.

Holder’s picks: LV +11.5, KC ML, Under 45.5
I have a hard time seeing the Raiders pull off the upset as a double-digit underdog, especially since the Chiefs have won three out of their last four games and are coming off a big two-possession win over a very good Detroit Lions team. However, 11.5 points is way too big of a spread in a division game between two bitter rivals. Las Vegas was one of the worst teams in the league last year and only lost by a combined nine points in the two matchups against the AFC Champs last season.
Pick’em Competition
Moving on to S&BP’s Pick’em competition, below is a look at how our writers finished in Week 6.
- Bill Williamson 63-29-1 (68%)
- Matt Holder 62-30-1 (67%)
- Ray Aspuria 56-36-1 (61%)
Last week was a big one for your boy, as I tied for the most correct picks in the entire competition with 11 winners, no big deal! That allowed me to pull within a game of Bill, as we’re now neck-and-neck at the top of the standings. The Seattle Seahawks getting a big road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars was the difference between the two of us last week. Meanwhile, the gap continues to widen for Ray after a 9-6 performance.

There has been plenty of activity at the top of the community leaderboard this season, and that continued last week. Pick’em Pro and EdgarEdmo8 pulled into a tie for first place with Tennesse Raider Fan, while JeepRaider slid down to tied for fourth. So far, Tennesse has been our most consistent picker, holding steady at the top of the standings for a few weeks now. Also, a big shoutout to our community, as 22 people predicted 10 games correctly in addition to the five top pickers with 11 winners listed above.
Best of luck with your picks this week!
