As you prepare to watch the Kansas City Chiefs host the Oakland Raiders in Week 17, here’s everything you need to prepare.

The Kansas City Chiefs have one more week to claim their reward. After Sunday afternoon, if they walk away from the field as losers of three games in a row, they can kiss the division title and the conference’s top seed goodbye.

The Chiefs have lost successive games for the first time in 2018, and the losses to the Seattle Seahawks and L.A. Chargers have left them vulnerable heading into Week 17. If the Chiefs can’t take care of the Raiders, they will miss out on home field advantage throughout the playoffs and bragging rights to their third straight AFC West title, a feat never before accomplished in franchise history.

As for the Raiders, they only have four wins, but listening to Jon Gruden talk this week makes it clear that he’s hungry for another win to close out a miserable season—something to give him and his young roster some offseason momentum to hope that the best is yet to come wtih Gruden as head coach. Recent wins against the Broncos and Steelers prove the Raiders are tougher than fans might think.
