The Oakland Raiders and Chiefs (then Dallas Texans before moving to Kansas City for the 1963 season) were charter members of the American Football League in 1960. The Raiders moved to Los Angeles for the 1982 season, back to Oakland for the 1995 season and now to Las Vegas for the 2020 season.
The Chiefs lead the all-time series 68-54-2.
The Chiefs have won 11 of the last 13 meetings between the teams, but that didn't sway FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd.
"I picked the New York Giants to upset the Raiders last week, that was my pick of the week," Cowherd said of the Giants' 23-16 victory. "That game was really about the Giants' red zone defense.
"In this spot, the Raiders are coming off of a bad performance and are going to want to tighten it up at home. DeSean Jackson is also now with the Raiders, so there's a speed threat."
Kansas City has been one of the NFL's most disappointing teams, having won their past two games to get back above .500 at 5-4. The Chiefs lead the NFL in turnovers with 19.
Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the NFL MVP in 2018, is fourth in the NFL in passing yards (2,534) and tied for third in passing touchdowns (20) but is third in interceptions (10).
Raiders QB David Carr has thrown for more yardage this season (2,565) than Mahomes on 26 fewer completions (236-210) and 50 fewer attempts (362-312) for the 5-3 Raiders. Carr has thrown seven interceptions, three fewer than Mahomes.

FOX Sports' Colin Cowherd: "The Raiders in this spot will get a little bit of a pass rush, and Patrick Mahomes has been inefficient. And, I still do not think Kansas City is right offensively. I see this as a low-scoring game. In those types of games, if I can get a competent quarterback, and an offense with multiple weapons at home with points, I like it. The Raiders are the side here."
PICK: Raiders (+2.5 via FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 2.5 points (or win outright)
