Las Vegas Raiders Week 10 Predictions

Darren Waller, Raiders, Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs4. Darren Waller catches a touchdown

Darren Waller is one of the premier tight ends in the NFL and is a matchup nightmare for any defense. His physical frame, paired with route running and speed, allows him to get open with ease. Defenses have a hard time covering him as a linebacker can be too slow to cover at times while safeties don't have the height.

This season, Waller has 40 receptions for 470 yards and two touchdowns. The Chiefs' defense has struggled throughout the season, and the Raiders should take advantage.

3. Defense forces multiple turnovers

One of the biggest problems for the Chiefs this season has been their turnovers. Patrick Mahomes and the offense have turned the ball over frequently, which has led to their early struggles. Last week, the Raiders defense forced and recovered a fumble against the Giants, showcasing the defensive playmaking ability.

With talented players on defense, the Raiders should create multiple turnovers to help them slow down the Chiefs' offense.

2. Derek Carr throws three touchdowns

Derek Carr has played well this season, helping Las Vegas be in the playoff race. His numbers may not be elite, but Carr has led this offense to win games. On the season, he has thrown for 2,565 yards along with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Carr also has a solid completion percentage at 67.3 percent.

He hasn't had a three touchdown game so far this season, but he has a good matchup against the Chiefs defense.

1. Raiders win in a one-score game

This Raiders-Chiefs matchup is primed to be great as they are both in the tight AFC West divisional race. Kansas City entered the season as the heavy favorite to win the division as well as win the AFC. That has not been the case, as they have struggled defensively and with turnovers. On the other hand, Las Vegas has played well and could make their first postseason appearance since 2016.

The young talent is emerging on the team as players are finally stepping into their roles. Despite all the off-the-field issues the Raiders have faced, the team has stayed composed and focused on reaching the playoffs.

This game could pay big dividends for Las Vegas as games like these could end up being the tiebreaker in a division. Look for the Raiders to come out with a strong performance and take home the win.

The Raiders may not have the most talented team in the league, but they are taking big strides and should make it to the playoffs this season.
