It's time to look at the last game of the season and give a prediction. It's going to be a short one since I'll be heading over to my parents to watch it and I didn't get a chance to write on Thursday night because of spending time with the cousins. So, I'll break down the rankings and let you know what I think will take place, and ultimately, the winner. So here you go:
Raiders offense vs. Chiefs defense
Raiders
Overall offense: 10th
Rush offense: 2nd
Pass offense: 23rd
Chiefs
Overall defense: 11th
Rush defense: 12th
Pass defense: 19th
This one is a close one to decide. The one thing I know that the team that runs the ball better will win.
Advantage: Raiders
Raiders defense vs. Chiefs offense
Raiders
Overall defense: 13th
Rush defense :29th
Pass defense: 3rd
Chiefs
Overall offense: 9th
Rush offense: 1st
Pass offense: 28th
The Raiders have completely dominated the division in terms of rushing differential. The Raiders have averaged 213 yards rushing against the AFC West and are only giving up 73 yards rushing. This is the main reason they are 5-0 in the division. If they are going to go to 6-0, they must slow down Kansas City's rushing attack.
Advantage: Chiefs
Special Teams
Raiders have the Pro Bowl starter at Punter and alternate at Kicker, who broke the all-time scoring record for the Raiders this year with one game to play. They also have Jacoby Ford who has run back the most kickoff returns for TD's this year in the NFL. This one is Raiders all the way.
Advantage: Raiders
Prediction: Raiders 24, Chiefs 23 (Raiders will extend their winning streak at Arrowhead to 4, regardless of the fact that they are unbeaten at home this year.)
