Just one game remains in the 2023 season. That game will be the first one played will be the first this weekend when they welcome the AFC West champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are gunning for the number one seed in the AFC with the Bills standing in their way. So, they have plenty of motivation to win. And odds are that’s just what they’ll do.
The Raiders are out of playoff contention and currently sit at pick 8 overall according to Tankathon.com. Just .001 in strength of schedule behind the the Falcons for pick seven and .003 in SoS ahead of the Panthers at pick nine.
Should the Raiders fall to the Chiefs, they would finish the season with a 6-11 record and could move as high as 6th overall.
Should they somehow beat the Chiefs, not only would they take down a bitter division rival, but they would have the satisfaction of ensuring the Chiefs will not have a first round bye in the playoffs.
The downside to such a win would be their draft position could potentially fall out of the top ten.
