Nothing fancy this week with the OP 
.
Chiefs are in the playoff hunt winning their last 5 in a row and tied at the top of the AFC West with Denver who they play next week. They are playing in Oakland who was eliminated from playoff contention last week while still looking for their first win in more than a calendar year.
Division game, so records usually don't mean as much, Raiders should play a tough game and Oakland has served up a 2-2 record against Kansas City since 2010 for their home crowd.
I was initially picking this game to be Oakland's first win (and it still wouldn't really surprise me), but that was before I remembered it was a Thursday game. I'll go against a rookie QB on a short week and Chiefs win decisively, pulling away late as the young QB is forced into a few mistakes playing catchup. The Chiefs' characteristic long drives and some FGs will prevent them from really pulling away until then.
30-13 Chiefs.
Rematch in two weeks.
Chiefs remaining schedule: v DEN, @ AZ, v OAK, @ PIT, v SD
Raiders remaining schedule: @ STL, v SF, @ KC, v BUF, @ DEN
