Prisco's Pick:


https://www.fantasynerds.com/images/nfl/pickem/14.png


The Chiefs have a chance to get the top seed in the conference if they win,
while the Raiders have nothing to play for other than pride. The Raiders
showed well against the 49ers last week, especially quarterback Jarrett
Stidham. But now he has to show he can do it again after there is tape on
him, which is tougher. Even so, I think he will hit some big plays to hang
around in a high-scoring game.

Chiefs 37
Raiders 27

Game Preview
from The Associated Press (https://www.espn.com/nfl/preview/_/gameId/401437961)

Chiefs would be top seed in AFC with win over Raiders

By DAVE SKRETTA January 6, 2023

LAS VEGAS -- — The Kansas City Chiefs now know they control their destiny.

With the NFL's decision to cancel the suspended Monday night game between Buffalo and Cincinnati, a Chiefs victory at Las Vegas on Saturday makes them the AFC's No. 1 seed.

There's a catch, however: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell proposed Thursday night that the AFC championship game would be played at a neutral site if the Chiefs earn home-field advantage over Cincinnati or Buffalo by virtue of having played one more game and end up meeting either of those teams. That proposal will go before NFL clubs for approval on Friday.

The Bills-Bengals game was postponed in the first quarter when Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest. He has shown signs of improvement but remains in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital.

Kansas City (13-3) began its preparations this week for the Raiders not knowing what decisions the league would make regarding playoff seeding or even this weekend's schedule.

“All I can do is come in here and give it everything I have in the building and then when I go home just appreciate my family,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “I know there’s a job to do, and you have to go in there and do it. But at the end of the day, you just want to make sure (Hamlin's) all right because that’s what’s most important.”

As for the Raiders (6-10), their season ends this weekend, but that doesn't mean the game is inconsequential for them.

Las Vegas faces a lot of questions in the offseason, most notably at quarterback. Jarrett Stidham will start his second game in a row in place of the benched Derek Carr. Stidham threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to San Francisco.

“I think he showed what he’s capable of and what he can do,” Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams said. "Definitely has some potential. I think that sustaining that and doing it again will be something that’d be big for him as far as seeing how (the coaches) view him and how they want to move forward.”

SPECIAL TEAMS SITUATION

The Chiefs have struggled on special teams most of the season. Last week, punt returner Kadarius Toney lost a fumble, Kansas City missed a point-after because of holder Tommy Townsend’s miscue and a field-goal attempt was blocked.

Making things even worse, kicker Harrison Butker experienced back spasms in practice Wednesday, and it’s unclear whether he will play against the Raiders. The Chiefs planned to sign a kicker to the practice squad as insurance.

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT REEL

Adams made two tremendous catches against the 49ers.

On one, he brought in a touchdown pass on the left side of the end zone, leaping and finding a way to land both feet inbounds.

On another, he somehow grabbed a deep pass barely off the ground and held on to it for a 45-yard gain that set up a touchdown. That play was reviewed and the call of a completed pass upheld.

“What I enjoy more (than watching his highlights) is reading the comments of every Niner fan that said it was incomplete,” Adams said. "That makes me a little bit happier than praising myself and patting myself on the back. I like the people that are pissed off about it.”

CHIEFS INJURY WOES

Kansas City had been charmed all season when it came to injuries until last week. A flurry of them against the Broncos has coach Andy Reid facing some uncertainty on Saturday. Left guard Joe Thuney (sore ankle), wide receiver Skyy Moore (lacerated hand) and cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (hip pointer) are all important contributors who missed practice time this week.

CLOSE CALL

The Raiders nearly beat the Chiefs in Kansas City when the teams met on Oct. 10, blowing a 17-point lead in the 30-29 loss.

Las Vegas coach Josh McDaniels said only so much can be taken out of the game for the rematch because both teams have undergone significant changes.

“So I think there’s definitely some challenges in terms of just getting to know the personnel that’s out there now as opposed to what it was,” McDaniels said. "But I definitely think that any time you have previous knowledge of an opponent and you’ve played against them (it's beneficial), especially for the players.

“It’s not always a precursor of what’s going to happen the next game, as we know. The second game of these division rivalries is always a little bit different because you’re going to change some things.”

Why do we always refuse to run on 3rd and short

[matthewschiefs]

Why do we always refuse to run on 3rd and short

Look at who is calling the plays

I don't mind it on 3rd and short because when we do run on 3rd and short we make sure everyone knows it's going to be a run

[TopekaRoy]

Why do we always refuse to run on 3rd and short
It seems like when we DO run, we go right up the middle and get stuffed at the LOS.

[matthewschiefs]

LOL thanks Raiders

[TopekaRoy]

Look at who is calling the plays

I don't mind it on 3rd and short because when we do run on 3rd and short we make sure everyone knows it's going to be a run


It seems like when we DO run, we go right up the middle and get stuffed at the LOS.

Smart minds, etc...

Pick!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job D

[Seek]

There we go

[matthewschiefs]

It seems like when we DO run, we go right up the middle and get stuffed at the LOS.

That's because we line up in power formation and make sure they know we are running right up the middle.

I would actually love to see them line up like that and run a play action.

[Eydugstr]

Juju SS!!!

[matthewschiefs]

Love that playcall there. Nice call Andy

[Eydugstr]

Touchdown Ronald Jones!!!!!!!

[matthewschiefs]

[Eydugstr]

Don't screw up Butker

[Chiefster]

I love how the Refs can see pass interference when the Chiefs don't do it but can't see it when the Raiders do.

[Eydugstr]

I love how the Refs can see pass interference when the Chiefs don't do it but can't see it when the Raiders do.

Wouldn't be the NFL without the refs' clown car showing up at some point. And we do have two quarters to go.

[Chiefster]

Wouldn't be the NFL without the refs' clown car showing up at some point. And we do have two quarters to go.

Yep!

[Eydugstr]

Their qb is pretty mobile

[Eydugstr]

Yeah he jumped....

[Eydugstr]

Cmon D

[matthewschiefs]

Bend but don't break that's what this D is built to do

[TopekaRoy]

Held 'em to 3. Let's answer with 7.

[Chiefster]

Bend but don't break that's what this D is built to do
Yup, made the other team waste the clock and only got 3 out of the deal.

[Chiefster]

Need to take the ball down field and get another 7!

[Eydugstr]

Pile it on, offense

[matthewschiefs]

UGH they are going to do the whole let up in the 2nd half thing again aren't they

[Eydugstr]

Dangit

[Chiefster]

...And we go 3 and out.

[Chiefster]

Facemask.

[matthewschiefs]

And now delay of game UGH coaching

[Chiefster]

And now delay of game UGH coachingFace mask.
Great punt from where he kicked it.

[matthewschiefs]

There you go Defense

[TopekaRoy]

I hope Clark's injury isn't serious. He'll have 2 weeks to heal.

[Chiefster]

Defense gets off the field.

[matthewschiefs]

When your punter is even showing off you know you are having a good day

[matthewschiefs]

D gets another 3 and out

[TopekaRoy]

Good stop, Defense.

[TopekaRoy]

I'm just aboout to sit down to dinner with my mom. Still watching the game but won't be commenting.

[matthewschiefs]

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiefster]

Touchdown Kansas City!

[Chiefster]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again running the ball in the redzone works

Indeed!

[matthewschiefs]

I think we can sit some guys now

[Chiefster]

Successfully running the ball has taken the pressure off of Mahomes.

[Chiefster]

I think we can sit some guys now

Yeah, save them for the playoffs.
So, if we win today does that mean we get home field advantage. I'm not sure how all that works.

[matthewschiefs]

He's out of bounds

[Eydugstr]

Raiders get a td act like they won the super bowl.....

[Chiefster]

TD is of no consequence.

[Chiefster]

Raiders get a td act like they won the super bowl.....
Well, they've had so little to celebrate this game. LOL!

[Chiefster]

I foresee a healthy dose of the run game here.

[matthewschiefs]

Well, they've had so little to celebrate this game. LOL!

Or this season despite all their preseason talk

[Chiefster]

...Or not.

[Eydugstr]

Wasn't that PI?

[matthewschiefs]

I swear if Mahomes gets hurt I am going to flip out there is 0 reason we should even have him out there to take hits at all

[Eydugstr]

Nice drop LV

[Chiefster]

I know it's pretty much academic at this point but that last offensive series was just bad.

[Eydugstr]

Lol @ Stidham chucking the ball down

[Eydugstr]

McDuffie this >< close to a pick

[matthewschiefs]

CHRIS JONES

That is all

[Chiefster]

He was "Jonesing"

[Chiefster]

CHRIS JONES

Yep!

[Eydugstr]

Pound that rock with RJ

[Chiefster]

Tick, tock!

[Chiefster]

So, I don't mean to be dumb but I am. LOL! I'm not understanding the whole number one seed since the Bills Bangles game was canceled. Do we get number one with today's win?

[Chiefster]

Another Jones!

[matthewschiefs]

Victory formation

[Chiefster]

Victory formation!

[matthewschiefs]

The rest of the AFC west spent a ton of money this year just to go 0-6 against the Chiefs :)

[Chiefster]

Victory formation
Beat me to it! LOL!

[Eydugstr]

So....we get home field but only if Buffalo loses tomorrow night, we get a bye regardless?

[matthewschiefs]

So....we get home field but only if Buffalo loses tomorrow night, we get a bye regardless?

Yes we are 1 seed no matter what

If the pats beat the Bills we get home field no matter what

[Eydugstr]

Yes we are 1 seed no matter what

If the pats beat the Bills we get home field no matter what

Tomorrow night going to be a really big Patriots fan lol

[matthewschiefs]

We did not turn the ball over and gave up a total of 13 points 7 of those in garbage time.

Take care of the ball and we are going to be a very tough out.

Playoff time in 15 we trust

[matthewschiefs]

Tomorrow night going to be a really big Patriots fan lol

That's a noon kickoff Pack Lions is the night game

[Chiefster]

Yes we are 1 seed no matter what
