The Raiders are certainly not a bad team, but according to analysts at NFL.com the Chiefs are much better at offense, in passing and in defense. Only the Raiders’ running game is better than that of the Chiefs. It is more than questionable whether this alone will be sufficient.
With two pass-heavy quarterbacks, like the Chiefs and Raiders, the better pass defense often decides. In this category, the statistics confirm the assessment of the NFL analysis.
The Chiefs are among the 1941 yards Defenses that have least allowed pass yards. In comparison, the Raiders are much more vulnerable and have granted 443 more passyards. That weakness will be put to the test by a quarterback like Mahomes.
The Las Vegas Raiders are in the AFC West with a record of (6-3) second behind the Kansas City Chiefs. The Raiders are in excellent shape and have recently won three games in a row.
After successes against the Browns and the Chargers, Las Vegas managed to beat the Broncos 37:12 on the last day of the game. Derek Carr was able to deliver a good performance and throw 154 pass yards.
The difference to Mahomes immediately catches the eye. Because while Carr has slacked off a bit in the last three games and threw an average of 143 yards, it was 330 yards for Mahomes. This is where the Chiefs quarterback clearly ahead in direct comparison.
