The inopportune drops are better off happening against the listless Broncos than the incoming Chiefs. It’s not the sexiest topic for the Las Vegas Raiders but it’s vital nonetheless. Because if the Raiders are going to not only beat the defending Super Bowl Champions — again — but make some serious noise in a playoff
Gruden’s Raiders are a different beast than Chiefs are used to
Its going to be uphill sledding with most of the defense out this past week due to COVID protocol. i’m not optimistic.
We’ll see what happens.
I would be surprised if the Raiders are able to beat the Chiefs again this season, especially with the Chiefs coming off a bye. Hopefully, the Raiders can keep it close and competitive. Although, the Raiders should have more incentive to get the win because it would pull them to within a game of the Chiefs and would put the AFC West into play for them. Last year when the Raiders had incentive, they laid eggs. Maybe this year will be different and the team will surprise us tonight.
I won’t be watching the game live as it kicks off at 1:20 a.m. over here in the UK. I’ll be watching in the morning – avoiding all possible spoilers!!
I’ll put this on record now though: I expect to watch a Raiders win built on our running game with both Jacobs and Booker having good days, the D showing a continuation of the recent uptick and Darren Waller doing what he does best off the back of a strong ground game. Don’t be surprised to see Carr keeping things moving on the ground again.
Go Raiders!!!
