With a stout defense and a shiny new toy on offense, we expect a dominant performance from Kansas City against one of the worst teams in the NFL.
Kansas City ranks fourth rushing the passer according to Pro Football Focus and will be taking aim here at aGarder Minshew was usurped under center by Aidan O’Connell, only to return when his competitor for the job broke his hand last week. Kansas City should take another step forward on offense with the addition of Hopkins, and while this Raiders defense does have talent, its pass rush has lacked quality, with Maxx Crosby still working his way to full health and the team ranking dead last in coverage, according to PFF.
I’m also a fan of Kareem Hunt, who should fit the game script quite well if you believe this will be as one-sided as I do. He’s now the undoubted top option in the backfield, playing roughly 64% of the snaps in the team’s last two games, and while he’s averaged a pedestrian 3.95 yards per carry this season, he’s still carried the ball a whopping 49 times across the Chiefs’ last two games.
