Chiefs Schedule: Score Prediction For Rest of 2023 Season
By Joe Summers
Week 16 - Chiefs @ Raiders - Dec. 25th
Score Prediction: 30-10 Chiefs
It's a Christmas Day game! The Chiefs get an extra day of rest due to the Week 15 matchup with the Patriots being flexed out of Monday Night Football, and this is the contest I expect Kansas City's offense to officially wake up.
Antonio Pierce's shine is wearing off, as evidenced by the laughable 3-0 loss to the Vikings. The Chiefs have at least 30 points in eight straight matchups with the Raiders and I'm not about to predict that streak ends.
L'Jarius Sneed aligned across from Stefon Diggs on 23 of his 35 routes (65.7%), limiting him to 1 reception for 3 yards on 5 targets (4 tight windows).

Kansas City got punched in the mouth in the first game against Las Vegas, letting the Raiders jump out to a 14-0 lead before rattling off a 31-3 run.
I don't think it'll take quite as long for the Chiefs to build a lead in this one, especially given the playoff implications of the matchup.
Vegas' roster will be looking ahead to vacations and the offseason, while the Chiefs will hope to get hot before a difficult playoff run. Kansas City gets another critical victory in Week 15.
