The Arizona Republic: Chiefs 30, Raiders 17

Jeremy Cluff writes: “The Raiders ended a four-game skid in Week 6. Can they start a win streak in Week 7? Don’t count on it. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs got back on track in their win over the Lions.”

Bookies.com: Bet the Raiders with the points vs Chiefs

Bill Speros writes: “Taylor Swift returned to her regular cameo during the Chiefs’ 30-17 win Sunday night. And the NFL obliged with multiple questionable calls that went in the Chiefs’ favor. Among them was an after-the-fact illegal motion penalty on Lions QB Jared Goff that negated a potential $450,000 win for one unlucky bettor. Patrick Mahomes again continues to work mastery with an offense of mostly castoffs, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce. The Raiders can’t score, but their defense should keep this one close enough for the backdoor cover.”

Sports Betting Dime: Chiefs 28.8, Raiders 12.1

The site’s formula predicts that the Chiefs will win the NFL Week 7 game against the Raiders.

ESPN: Chiefs have a 79.5% chance to beat Raiders on Sunday

The site gives the Raiders a 20.4% shot at winning the NFL Week 7 game, with the remaining percentage accounting for a tie.

Dimers: Chiefs 26, Raiders 18

It writes: “After extensive simulations, our model gives the Raiders a win probability of 23%, while the Chiefs have a win probability of 77%.”

Sportsnaut: Kansas City Chiefs 34, Las Vegas Raiders 14

Matt Johnson writes: “In the last three games, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a 70.4 percent completion rate and 113.4 QB rating, with this offense averaging 31.7 points per game. That’s before Rashee Rice’s Week 7 return. Even if the timing with his No. 1 receiver isn’t perfect in their first game back together, just having Rice on the field should make this a top-flight passing game again. That’s bad news for the Las Vegas Raiders, who are thin at cornerback, can’t pass protect and have a quarterback with a penchant for turnovers when pressured. Rivalry games can have a surprising result here and there, we don’t anticipate that happening here.”
