Week 11: @ Las Vegas Raiders

This will be the Chiefs’ first of what will be many trips to Allegiant Stadium, or as it has been nicknamed, “The Death Star”

Another divisional game that many people may not peg as an extremely easy matchup, but like the Week 2 game against the Chargers, this one comes after an extended amount of rest. This time it is after the official bye, meaning the Raiders get a post-bye Andy Reid, who maybe the best coach of all time after the break.

The Raiders also have a QB controversy on their hand, and Week 10 is the most likely time for that situation to come to a head. Who is the quarterback, Carr or Mariota? Neither seems extremely optimal, especially given the speed the Raiders added in the draft and the need for a QB who can hit a deep pass accurately.

The Chiefs should be firing at all cylinders after a bye, and the Raiders’ defense should be nothing more then a speed bump in the road to run it back.
