The Chiefs and Raiders are AFC West rivals, so they play twice every regular season, once in Kansas City and once in Las Vegas. This page tracks how sportsbooks have priced each meeting: where the line opened, how it moved, how far prices differed between books and how the game finished. OddsBay records every price from the first line to kickoff, and we add each new meeting to the record below.

How the October meeting was priced

Kansas City opened as a 5.5-point road favorite. Three days before kickoff the median had dropped to −4.5 and it held there. The total went the other way, rising from about 45.5 to 47–47.5.

The Chiefs won 30–27, a 3-point margin. That is the result that makes the spread matter: Chiefs moneyline bettors won, but anyone who laid −4.5 or more lost, and Raiders +4.5 covered. The 57 points went over the closing total. Our point spread guide explains how a team can win the game and lose the bet.

At kickoff, OddsBay tracked moneyline prices from 47 sportsbooks:

  • Chiefs moneyline: from −278 at the worst book to −213 at the best. A winning $100 bet paid $11 more at the best price.
  • Raiders moneyline: from +175 to +213.
  • The spread: books were split across 4.5, 5 and 5.5, so the Chiefs could be laid at three different numbers. With a 3-point final, all of them lost.

What makes Chiefs vs Raiders different to bet

  • Division familiarity. The teams play twice a year and know each other’s schemes. In the first five weeks of the 2026 season, OddsBay recorded 22 NFL division games: the underdog covered the closing spread in 15 and won outright in 12. In non-division games, underdogs covered 25 of 53. Twenty-two games is a small sample, so treat this as context, not a system.
  • Key numbers. In the 79 NFL games OddsBay recorded in the first five weeks, 3 was the most common final margin (15.2% of games) and 7 the second (10.1%). When a line sits near 3 or 7, the half point and its price matter. Our point spread guide covers the basics.
  • Winning the game vs covering. In this matchup the favorite won by exactly 3, one of the most common NFL margins. Before laying more than 3 points, ask whether the moneyline is the better way to back the favorite. Our moneyline guide compares the two.
  • Different conditions in each city. Kansas City is open-air and can be very cold in December and January; Las Vegas plays indoors. Totals for the second meeting can depend on the forecast. See our guide to over/under betting.

What to check before the next meeting

  1. Quarterbacks and injuries. Confirm who is starting and which key players are out.
  2. Weather. For outdoor games, check the wind forecast for game day.
  3. Where the line sits relative to 3 and 7. Note what each half point costs.
  4. Prices across books. Compare the moneyline, spread and total on the odds comparison before betting.
  5. Your bet against the close. After the game, compare the price you took with the closing line. Our guide to the closing line explains why.
