If anyone is going to score for the Chiefs on Sunday, then it’s Travis Kelce, in what could be his last game for the franchise. He’s scored five touchdowns this season but also leads the team in red zone targets since Oladokun has been under center.

The Raiders ownership have made it very clear that the number one pick is their number one priority, and there's no reason to think they'll keep this game close enough to possibly win it. Geno Smith joins Brock Bowers and Maxx Crosby on the sidelines, and while the Chiefs are shorthanded as well they've played better of late. They gave the Broncos all they could handle last week, while the Giants trounced the Raiders. There's nothing for the Raiders to play for, and their players surely know they won't be given a winning gameplan. I'll take the team still competing to cover the spread.

This is a strong price in a game that could feature some of the lowest scoring on the Week 18 slate. It’s the Kenny Pickett version of a struggling Raiders offense, but Michael Mayer was heavily involved last week, with Brock Bowers shut down. He led the team with 10 targets, caught nine balls for 89 yards, and saw a red-zone look, even if it didn’t turn into a score. The matchup against Kansas City is tough, but the game being indoors helps, and the price more than accounts for the risk. For what could be the most involved pass catcher in this offense, it’s worth a look.

The Kansas City Chiefs may rely on the pass game less this week (and call more rushes) given that they be rolling out backup quarterback Chris Oladokun.. The projections expect the Kansas City Chiefs to be the 7th-most pass-oriented offense in the NFL (context-neutralized) at the moment with a 63.5% pass rate.. The passing offenses of both teams (in terms of both volume and effectiveness) stand to benefit from the still "weather" conditions (as in no wind) inside this dome, while ground volume may go down.. The Kansas City O-line profiles as the 8th-best in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a strong effect on all pass attack stats across the board.. This year, the deficient Las Vegas Raiders defense has surrendered a monstrous 73.1% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing teams: the 6th-biggest rate in the NFL.

Given their underlying tendencies and game dynamics, the Raiders are expected by our trusted projection set to call only 62.7 plays on offense in this contest: the 7th-fewest among all teams this week.. The 3rd-lowest number of plays in football have been called by the Las Vegas Raiders this year (only 51.9 per game on average).. The leading projections forecast Kenny Pickett to throw 28.4 passes in this game, on average: the 3rd-fewest among all quarterbacks.

The Raiders will be rolling out backup quarterback Kenny Pickett in this contest, which generally means fewer pass attempts and more rushing.. The Raiders are a 3-point favorite this week, which points towards a rushing game script.. Based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Raiders to pass on 60.3% of their downs: the 7th-greatest rate on the slate this week.. This game will be played in a dome—which means no wind, higher pass volume, higher TD potential, and better passing efficiency.. This year, the deficient Kansas City Chiefs defense has surrendered a staggering 75.0% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing QBs: the 2nd-highest rate in the league.

When it comes to pass-blocking (and the ramifications it has on all pass game metrics), the offensive line of the Las Vegas Raiders grades out as the 6th-worst in football this year.. The Chiefs cornerbacks grade out as the 3rd-best collection of CBs in football this year in covering pass-catchers.

The projections expect Travis Kelce to be a much bigger part of his offense's pass game in this week's game (25.3% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (19.5% in games he has played).

In this contest, Marquise Brown is projected by the model to rank in the 76th percentile when it comes to WRs with 6.5 targets.. The predictive model expects Marquise Brown to be a much smaller piece of his team's passing offense in this game (11.0% projected Target Share) than he has been this year (16.6% in games he has played).
