I would like to hear your thoughts on the spot for LV. I know the brilliance of Andy off a bye. What else are you seeing?
You all have seen me here long enough. Rarely do I have emotion factored into a handicap. There is a clear revenge angle in play and it will have bearing on the AFC playoff picture as well.
As much as they will say otherwise, as someone who has watched every down multiple times, the Chiefs offensive and defensive gameplan against LV the first time reeked of "Get in, get out, collect the win". There was no creativity on offense, there were no adjustments on defense. Look back toward the Baltimore game which was a "big game" and the Chiefs rolled out every misdirection and fake possible and destroyed that good defense. Take Buffalo, another important game. KC went and changed the plan completely to decimate the Bills. Against LV there was none of this. It cannot be understated also, that the Chiefs get Sammy Watkins back in the mix this week.
You have now given KC two weeks to take the number one offense up against a team ranked 31st in Drive success rate. And if we think to this point last season, this is where the Chiefs turned a top 15 defense into a top 5 defense and never lost another game. Came off the loss to Tennessee and then never looked back. They are getting healthier on D including getting Okafor back for this game which will help in the run game. LV has the highest passing and rushing game against the Chiefs this season and had the most pressure on the QB. I see a very up and coming Raiders team walking into a fight carrying slingshots and stones, not ready for what is in store for them.
With that in mind, where's the examples of a team not practicing with its starters all week and then coming out guns blazing. Don't say Tennessee as those MF were working out and LV is not. I am convinced LV will have all their guys on the field but you can't tell me no reps is a good thing.
Again, LV has exceeded many expectations this year and is going places. For sure. They are about to get slapped though
KC spread and TT as well as a Carr INT prop are on my horizon.
Didn't get into a huge stat dive per usual but I think this is just not the right week to have a lot of distractions like LV has had.
