Las Vegas Raiders Face Long Odds Against Kansas City Chiefs
The Las Vegas Raiders are significant underdogs heading into their matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, with a 2-9 record and a tie for the worst record in the league. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are 10-1 as the reigning Super Bowl champions. Despite the long odds, Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce is determined to make the game competitive and “ugly,” calling it a “dogfight” and urging his team to “make it scrappy” and “create a little chaos.”
The Raiders have had some success against the Chiefs in recent years, going 2-0 against them last season, including a surprise victory on Christmas Day. However, the Chiefs went on to run the table after that loss, and earlier this year, they defeated the Raiders 27-20 in a close game.
The Chiefs are favored by 7.5 points in the upcoming matchup, according to The Action Network. Despite the long odds, Pierce is focused on getting his team to play with passion and personality, saying “Let’s change the narrative. Let’s go out there and make it a dogfight. Let’s make it ugly, let’s make it scrappy.”
