Summary:
Oakland is playing phenomenal right now having won six straight while Kansas City has won two straight. Kansas City won the first match-up 26-10 in Oakland earlier this year. The Chiefs have won six of their last seven head to head games with Oakland. Kansas City proved already that their elite defense can shut down Oakland’s prolific offense. Both teams rank top three in terms of turnover margin so that category is a wash. Oakland is playing as well as any team in the NFL right now but Kansas City seems to be their kryptonite so I’m picking the Chiefs at home in a close one.
