MONDAY NIGHT MAYHEM: Will Mahomes continue to rule the Raiders?
EXPERT PICKS: Jay and Ryan are digging Josh Jacobs
POWER HOUR: A Free Bet drop for a Same Game Parlay!
HUSTLE BOOST: Jacobs and Travis Kelce TDs in a KC BBQ
KEY FACTS: History says the Raiders have little chance: Patrick Mahomes is 7-1 against the Silver & Black ☠️. But Vegas came alive last week versus Denver (Josh Jacobs 144 rushing yards, Davante Adams 101 receiving yards) and slot receiver Hunter Renfrow is back from a concussion. Chiefs ace kicker Harrison Butker is out.
TRENDING: The Over has hit in four straight meetings with an average point total of 62.5. The home team normally covers (8-3 ATS in last 11).
EXPERT PICKS
NBC lead betting analyst Jay Croucher and PointsBet studio host Ryan Leaf both went 1-1 Sunday, properly predicting the Bengals +3 and the Under on Ja'Marr Chase receiving yards. Here are their MNF best bets.
THE BOOK
Total Over 52 (-105)
“The week’s highest total should be even higher. Mahomes does whatever he wants against this defense. And the Raiders are the kings of scoring in garbage time.”
Josh Jacobs Over 20.5 Receiving Yards (-105)
“I got this at 15.5. The Chiefs have been dreadful defending RBs in the passing game and Jacobs has hit 31 each of the past two weeks.”
THE BIG NAME
Chiefs -7 (-107)
“I hate this number because it’s a divisional game and Carr has won there before. But the Chiefs are just too good; their loss to the Colts allowed Andy Reid to coach them hard.”
Josh Jacobs Anytime TD (+135)
“He did not get his fifth-year option picked up so every week is a contract week for him. I’m expecting heavy usage in the red zone.”
