Las Vegas at Kansas City Game Preview


Why Las Vegas Will Win

Everyone wants to crown Kansas City as “back” and about to be that team to beat again now that it’s on a five-game winning streak. It’s sort of back. The offense isn’t.

It’s productive, and it’s getting the job done, but the running game continues to be spotty as the defense is getting the job done time and again with a whole lot of takeaways.

For all of its problems, Las Vegas has been okay with the mistakes over the last few weeks.

Kansas City 41, Las Vegas 14.

The Chiefs got on a roll fast and didn’t stop in the blowout in mid-November. Mahomes looked like Mahomes, everything clicked, and it was an easy win over a team that’s been playing over the last five weeks like it absorbed way too many body blows.

What’s Going To Happen

It might not be like everyone was expecting, but the Chiefs really are finding their groove.

The offense is fine. It’s not otherworldly like we’ve all come to expect, but that’s okay as long as the turnovers and mistakes are coming in waves like they did over the first half of the season.

Just score a few times, don’t screw up, and the rising defense will take care of the rest.
