Oakland is playing for top spot in their division and also to get that top seed in the post-season. My prediction is they will get it just because it's been wayyyyy too long for the fan base.
Cowboys and Raiders both teams will go 0-1 in the post-season.. the teams to knock them out will be teams that has very good post-season records.
Steelers & Packers (keep your eyes out for these underrated teams)
Cowboys already beat both pitts and gb.. in there house... both pitts and packers be lucky if they even make it to the playoffs... if they do they lose in wild card rounds

As far as needing a defense for the playoffs Mario Edwards began his return from IR as his 21 day window just opened and Aldon Smith has a shot at reinstatement.

The raiders are more of a passing Off. and down the field over 10 yard type also with little running game.
The chiefs are a run and less than 10 yard passing ball control Off.
The raiders D. is not good with stopping the run their main problem.
The chiefs D. is around middle of the pack when you combine their stats AND points surrendered.
The weather conditions dictate that the KC type of obvious gameplan of run the ball and throw short passes is more likely to succeed than the raiders who have trouble running the ball if they wanted to duplicate KCs make sense gameplan and leave them no choice but pass prob. 40 times min. coupled with the fact that KC has run very well as of late vs the raiders will keep Oaks Off. on the bench likely for around 36- 37 min. which will give the 2nd to none TO machine KC chiefs more chances to do Andy Reids #1 preached thing.
The raiders can still win the Div. if they lose this game and are at worst a 1st game hosting WC team.
If KC loses they are not only not going to have very little to no chance to win the div. but with 2 loses in their last 3 games could be on the outside looking in for a WC come jan.1st.
This game is more important to the Chiefs in the big picture and barring an TO less masterpiece by Derek Carr with limited time of poss. to do it in and the raiders Def. suddenly being at least fairly Stout vs the run---esp. vs a team who really exploits them normally--i see a Chief win with ball control aka a huge adv. running the ball and a +1 om in the TO battle that andy reid mentions 75 times a day to his team and they are obv. listening.

They just beat the best offense in the NFL in a shoot out on the ROAD, Jesus Christ.
I stand by my comments.
I'm not a detailed stats and numbers guy(Suuma is the guy for that) but the eyes do not lie. From what i've seen of the Chief's games, Alex Smith either scrambles or makes the occassional big pass play to get the 1st down. The biggest part of Alex Smith's success is that he doesnt turn the ball over which is a good trait to have dont get me wrong but he is nothing more than a game manager. Have you seen the Chiefs offense in the red zone? Yikes. Glancing at basic passing stats the Chiefs passing game is no better than the Vikings, Jaguars or the Cowboys.
Sure the Broncos proved last season you can win the championship with an offensively challenged QB behind a calibur defense but thats a rarity. The Chiefs defense isnt quite on that level yet, not even by a mile. They let Trevor Siemian diced through that defense like swiss cheese and made him look like Peyton Manning in his prime.
Sure the cold weather will play a factor here especially the passing game. Advantage KC. But in the end still gotta pass the ball cant run forever. Carr aint going to throw +300 yd in cold weather unless KC defense plays real bad thats fact but the Raiders will make some key plays throwing the ball. Raiders have more weapons than the Chiefs
They couldnt run the ball effectively last time against the Chiefs because Latavius Murray didnt play and i think he'll be a big Xfactor in this game. Chiefs run defense is a little better but not much better than the Raiders imo
Nothin against the Chiefs just being objective thats all
Sip on that plus money honey!

Jeremy Maclin (groin) will be a full participant at Tuesday's practice.
It puts Maclin on track to suit up Thursday night against Oakland. He'll be returning from a four-game absence. With Travis Kelce emerging as Alex Smith's go-to target and rookie Tyreek Hill also showing promise, Maclin won't be more than a WR4 this week and going forward. Dec 6 - 12:57 PM

Kelce had his third straight 100-yard receiving game. His upside could be even higher this week against a good matchup that could be high-scoring when Oakland comes to town Thursday.

Keep telling us about the impact of freezing temperatures in a dome
Your avatar suits you. Good friend of mine was neighbors of Kevin James in nyc, he would tell me stories of how much of an asshat he was always calling the cops for the most ridiculous of things, thinking he should get preferential treatment for being a celebrity.
I hope you bet big on Oakland, will be the 2nd time in 2 weeks I proved your arrogant self wrong.
