The Kansas City Chiefs (3-0) and Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) square off in an AFC West battle at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Let's analyze NFL odds around the Chiefs at Raiders odds and make our expert NFL picks and predictions for the best bets.
The Chiefs (-9.5) escaped Miami with a tougher-than-expected 24-10 (Under 45) victory over the winless Dolphins last Sunday. The Chiefs were clinging to a 17-10 lead before salting the game away with 11-yard TD catch from TE Travis Kelce with 2:55 remaining. QB Patrick Mahomes was 20 of 24 passing for 246 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT, while RB Kenneth Walker III was held under 100 yards for the first time this season, rushing for 70 yards and 1 TD on 18
carries. The Dolphins, who lost RB De'Von Achane to a knee injury on the team's first drive, totaled 329 yards (210 passing, 119 rushing).
The visiting Raiders (+4.5) rallied for a 35-27 (Over 44) victory over the Saints in Week 3 to improve to 3-0 for the first time since 2021. Last season, the Raiders didn't earn their third win until the final weekend. Raiders QB Kirk Cousins completed 22 of 33 passes for 248 yards and 3 TDs -- 2 of them in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback. In his first game of the season, Raiders TE Brock Bowers caught 10 passes for 116 yards and 1 TD. While the Saints outgained the Raiders 381 yards to 340, Las Vegas forced 4 turnovers (3 fumbles, 1 INT). Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 29 of 42 passes for 255 yards and a career-high 4 TDs.
The Chiefs lead the all-time series vs. the Raiders 76-56-2 (including playoffs) and have dominated since the 2013 season, winning 21 of the last 26 games. The AFC West rivals split the series last season, the Chiefs winning at home 31-0 on Oct. 19, and Raiders prevailing 14-12 in Las Vegas on Jan. 4 of this year.

Chiefs at Dolphins picks and predictions
Prediction
Chiefs 31, Raiders 17
Moneyline
PASS.
I'm not going to overreact to the Raiders 3-0 start and pick the upset. The Raiders are perhaps the biggest surprise of the season thus far, but it should be noted their opponents have a combined record of 1-8 through 3 weeks. Still, 2 of their 3 wins have come on the road, where they were 1-7 last season.
The teams share one common opponent, Miami. Both teams won by 14 points, the Chiefs 24-10 last Sunday in Miami and the Raiders 27-13 at home in the season opener.
Against the spread
BET CHIEFS -4.5 (-108).
After spanking the Broncos in the season opener, the Chiefs are in another to turn away an upstart and prove who's still running the show in the AFC West. The Chiefs have the NFL's second-ranked offense (416.3 ypg) and fourth-ranked defense (278 ypg), while the Raiders rank 20th on offense (311.7 ypg) and 10th on defense (316.7 ypg).
Mahomes is 13-2 in his career vs. the Raiders.
Over/Under
PASS.
It's too close to call for my predicted score. I don't have a good feeling one way or another for a lean, I'd just stay away from this one.
Best prop bet
BET PATRICK MAHOMES 250+ PASSING YARDS (+110)
I had this prop last week vs. the Dolphins and came up 4 yards short, but I'm going to the well again. Mahomes has thrown for at least 250 yards in 12 of his 15 games vs. the Raiders. He's thrown at least 2 TDs in 11 of the 15 games and has thrown 0 INTs in 10 of the games.
