The Kansas City Chiefs will be coming off their upset win over the Packers on Saturday afternoon when they play host to the division-rival Oakland Raiders in a Week 16 contest on the NFL odds board at Bovada's online sportsbook.
 
Why wait? Bet on football this holiday season
 
The Chiefs became the first team this season to put a dent in Green Bay's armour, winning 19-14 at home over the Packers as big underdogs. Kansas City is now 6-8 straight up and 8-6 against the spread on the season.
 
Kansas City's defense held the Packers scoreless in the first half of that contest, and Aaron Rodgers only managed to throw for 235 yards and one touchdown in a rare off-day.
 
Kyle Orton went 23 of 31 for 299 yards passing for the Chiefs against Green Bay, with no touchdowns and no interceptions. Kansas City got their major score off a Jackie Battle one-yard rush in the fourth quarter, and Ryan Succop booted four field goals on the day.
 
The Raiders blew their game against the Lions over the weekend, allowing two late touchdowns to fall 28-27 at home and drop to 7-7 on the season. That prevented Oakland from making up any ground on the Broncos (who also lost) in the AFC West race.
 
Carson Palmer went an efficient 32 of 40 for 367 yards passing for Oakland in Sunday's loss, with one touchdown strike and no interceptions. Darrius Heyward-Bey had eight catches for 155 yards and a score in the contest.
 
Kansas City blanked Oakland 28-0 on the road when those teams met for the first time this season back in Week 7, with the Raiders favored by 3.5 points on the NFL lines that day. Palmer and Kyle Boller combined for six interceptions for the Raiders in that defeat.
 
The Raiders, though, are 3-2 both straight up and against the spread in their past five games against the Chiefs, with the UNDER paying off in four of those five contests.
