Chiefs open as touchdown favorites over Raiders in Week 11

The Kansas City Chiefs (8-1) are touchdown favorites over the Las Vegas Raiders (6-3) in Week 11.

BetMGM’s opening betting lines for Week 11 have posted, once again favoring the Chiefs in a division rivalry game. Earlier in the season, when these two teams first met, Kansas City was favored by 12 points. Las Vegas ended up winning that game by eight points.

At BetMGM, the Chiefs are currently listed as 7-point favorites over the Raiders. The current money line is at -334 for Kansas City and +270 for Las Vegas. The over/under point total is set at 54.5 points. The Chiefs have an implied win probability of 77% in this matchup.

The Raiders are on a bit of a hot streak right now, coming off of a three-game winning streak. Their last loss came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. This past week they had a dominant showing against the Denver Broncos, covering the point spread by a mile with a 37-12 win.

On the other hand, the Chiefs have a lot going for them heading into this game. They’re going to be fresh and healthy off the bye week, with several key starters presumed to return. Andy Reid-coached teams historically have a lot of success after a week off, with an 18-3 record in the regular season when coming off of a bye week.
