The Raiders got a narrow 24-21 win over mediocre Tennessee last weekend, but there’s a reason why 55 percent of the betting public likes Kansas City to get the ATS win despite being on the road in this Week 13 AFC west divisional clash.The reason is that the Chiefs are playing as well as any team in the league right now.

Kansas City has held each of their last five opponents to 22 points or less and four of them to 13 points or less. Offensively, Alex Smith has looked better than ever in leading K.C. to 29 points or more in four straight games while topping the 30-point plateau three times and the 40-point plateau once.Prior to beating Jacksonville last weekend, Oakland had lost three straight while giving up 30 points or more twice and getting held to 14 points or less two times.Kansas City is 4-1 ATS in their last five games against their AFC West division rivals and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against a tam with a losing record.Conversely, the Riders are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games against Kansas City while the road team in this longstanding series is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 meetings.
