The Las Vegas Raiders (2-9) return to action in a Black Friday affair at the Kansas City Chiefs (10-1) where they are looking to snap a seven-game losing streak. The Raiders are also looking to avenge a loss against the Chiefs from earlier this season.
Kansas City topped Las Vegas, 27-20, on Oct. 27 from inside Allegiant Stadium.
As Las Vegas enters this holiday rivalry tilt trying to exact revenge, the Raiders will do so without quarterback Gardner Minshew. Minshew was lost for the season late in last week’s 29-19 loss versus the Denver Broncos after suffering a broken collarbone.
Las Vegas will turn back to second-year pro Aidan O’Connell under center. O’Connell had been on the injured reserve with a broken thumb, but the 6-foot-3, 210 pound quarterback is set to make his return against the Chiefs.
Can the Raiders pull another holiday stunner over KC? Get a look at the latest odds, injury report and a prediction for the matchup.
