Stay on top of the latest NFL<\/a> updates direct from Las Vegas!<\/em><\/p>\n Two teams that have been strange this season to figure out face off in Kansas City.\u00a0 Josh Jacobs was quoted as saying they start out \u201cStiff and Dull\u201d, and that \u201cI think we kind of just coast a little too much\u201d.\u00a0 Not a ringing endorsement of the team after putting up 15 points against Washington.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n The Chiefs are piling up wins as they have five in a row, but the wins certainly don\u2019t feel like a team ready for a Super Bowl.\u00a0 One score games against the Giants and then Jordan Love, a big win against these Raiders, then a 10 pint win against a Dallas team with no Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb for the second half followed up by a 22-9 bizarre win over Denver in which Denver moved the ball but didn\u2019t have the points to match it.\u00a0 Neither team has been impressive, but one is looking towards a playoff run, and the other looks like it\u2019s losing steam and faces five tough games in a row starting with the Chiefs.\u00a0 The line is -9.5 and the total is 48\u2026so what\u2019s the play that cashes a ticket?<\/span><\/p>\n The struggles of Mahomes and the Chiefs offense this season has been a hot topic this season and it seems like everyone has an opinion.\u00a0 The defense is taking away Tyreek Hill deep\u2026Mahomes isn\u2019t in rhythm\u2026the Chiefs can\u2019t run the balll\u2026we\u2019ve heard it all.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s wrong, I just know they don\u2019t look good, and they\u2019re 13th in the league in scoring just 2.5 points a game ahead of Las Vegas.\u00a0 However, their defense is stepping up with a bend but don\u2019t break mentality and the numbers don\u2019t lie\u2026they\u2019ve given up 17 or fewer points in five straight games.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n The Raiders are having problems of their own on offense as they\u2019ve had one productive game out of the last five and that was the Thanksgiving game against Dallas.\u00a0 Since their bye week they have one game over 16 points, and since we have a Raiders team struggling on offense that is playing a defense that is hitting its stride, I don\u2019t see a big points day from Las Vegas.\u00a0 Combine that with a Kansas City offense who isn\u2019t clicking and it\u2019s a nice recipe for an under.<\/span><\/p>\n Denver showed you can run on Kansas City and they\u2019ll be ok giving up yards, but not points.\u00a0 The Raiders should utilize Josh Jacobs a lot to try and control the clock and if they have some success we\u2019ll see time come off the clock.\u00a0 Kansas City has discovered the beauty of the check down over the last month instead of forcing the deep ball, and we\u2019ve seen six games out of seven go under for the Chiefs.\u00a0 I expect a game similar to the script of the Denver-Kansas City game which was a 31 point game and an easy under.<\/span><\/p>\n OFFICIAL PLAY:\u00a0 UNDER 48<\/span><\/p>\n \ud83d\udcb0 Which dogs are barkin’ this week?
