The Raiders are 6-4 now sitting second in the AFC West, behind the Chiefs, who are 9-1 and are second in the conference. At the moment, Las Vegas holds the last playoff spot in the AFC, and has a two-game road trip ahead. Their first contest will be in Atlanta against the Falcons, and after that in New York vs. Jets. Beating the Falcons would be a massive boost for Jon Gruden’s side.
-->As for the Chiefs, they travel to Tampa Bay next weekend to face Tom Brady and his Bucs. After that, the champions are coming back home for a divisional clash against the Broncos before traveling to Florida once again. Only this time, they meet the Miami Dolphins.
