    A lot of 6point teasers had KC -1 or KC -1.5, so this is to KILL all those teasers or make them push. Vegas definitely did not want to pay out the middle new_laugh_sweat can't think of any other reason why they went for 2 with 4 minutes remaining.....

    Here’s the reason why you tie the game because the Raiders Were going down to actually win the game with the field goal but if not it goes into overtime who knows what happens in overtime they have no confidence in their offense they have no confidence in their defense the Raiders are a debacle right now the coaches aren’t worth a shit either

    Almost as bad kc went for 2. Guess they were trying to cover for their fans. Left door wide open McDaniels gives the edge right back to KC. Just like kicking fg before half. That's when he should of gambled that 3 points was basically useless.

    There's also a different dynamic to playcalling for the Chiefs offensive coordinator up 1 with 4 minutes left as opposed to being tied.  

     

    A tied game,  he's gonna let Mahomes throw the ball every down not worried about running out the clock(Same as if they're down 1) 

     

    Up 1, he's going to call run plays and take the ball out of Mahomes hands because he's trying to kill the clock.  Essentially the Chiefs will have one chance to convert a 3rd down to end the game or give the ball back to the Raiders at some point in that drive. That's a lot more pressure than having 3 or 4 plays with Mahomes having to just get a FG to win the game with the ball never removed from his hands because they're trying to run the clock out

    Don't let facts (or logic) get in the way of a good story, Sir...an_roll_laugh

    No you're ight but he'll definitely have an answer to defend himself. In fact he was probably thinking of his answer as soon as two-point play went belly up. confused
