Ones to watch
The Defence.
Things have to improve if this team is to go deep in the playoffs or even all the way to winning the Super Bowl. With the current defence playing the way it is, this team is maybe winning 1 playoff game. Maybe. Last week saw a shake up of the Cbs, with little effect. Still too many penalties, still too many missed tackles. It’s been the same story all season. Getting back Houston and Berry from injury was going to help, it hasn’t really done a great deal. This is the game to set down a marker. Shut down a Raiders team with nothing to play for.
Key matchup
Charvarius Ward v Any Raiders WR.
Next man up? That would be Charvarius Ward. With the other players in the secondary being uninspiring the Chiefs made a change last week to give him more playing time. He made an ok start, but it’s the sharp end of the season now, he needs to be up to speed.

What they said
Chucky
“Let’s go get those Chiefs”
What we said
Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy talked about missing Sammy Watkins.
“You think about it, if you think about Sammy’s career, Sammy has provided a lot,” he said. “He’s done a lot and achieved a lot. One thing that you are missing is Sammy can swing coverage to a different way. He may attract an over the top safety. Or he may attract a nickel that is trying to cover him as well. Those are the things that he brings to the table. But on top of, these guys are doing an outstanding job of stepping up. Obviously, we miss Sammy. We want Sammy back. These guys understand, you know what, when they are called upon to do their job this is their opportunity. Maximize it and make it happen.”
Odds
Chiefs by 14.5.
Bet of the week – TAKE THE RAIDERS +14.5!!!. This is a division game, they aren’t often blowouts.
