The Kansas City Chiefs look to make it two wins in a row as they host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 7.

The Chiefs bounced back with a win over the Lions on Sunday Night Football, and the Raiders are coming off a win of their own as home favorites against the Titans.

Can the Chiefs take care of business as big home favorites?

Here’s a breakdown of the odds, a player to watch, betting trends and my prediction for this matchup in Week 7.

Raiders vs. Chiefs Key Player to Watch

Patrick Mahomes, Quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has reminded everyone just how good he is over the past few weeks. After throwing for 318 yards and a touchdown, and adding a rushing touchdown of his own in Week 5, he came out with 237 yards on 22 of 30 passing (a season-high 73.3% completion) with three touchdown passes and one on the ground.

Mahomes is up to 1,514 yards, 11 touchdown passes, just two interceptions, and four rushing touchdowns in six weeks.

The Chiefs quarterback should be able to keep that up this week against the Raiders, who haven’t played a truly elite QB this season. Justin Herbert threw for 242 yards and two scores back in Week 2, and even Cam Ward reached 222 yards and a touchdown last week.

Look for Mahomes to continue to ramp things up at home in Week 7.

Raiders vs. Chiefs Prediction and Pick

Since losing to the Eagles in their home opener, the Chiefs have dominated at Arrowhead. They beat the Ravens 37-20 as +2.5 underdogs and put together a comfortable 30-17 win over the Lions as -2.5 favorites.

That’s not good news for the Raiders, who lost 40-6 against the Colts in their last road game, and 41-24 in Washington two weeks prior to that.

This is a big spread on Sunday afternoon, but the Chiefs have covered it in all three of their wins this season, and the Raiders have lost by at least 17 in both road defeats.

Pick: Chiefs -11.5 (-112)
