Raiders vs Chiefs Prediction: Can the NFL's Best Defense Stop Mahomes?

Atomic Punk Media LLC — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The undefeated Kansas City Chiefs come to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, and sole possession of first place in the AFC West goes to the winner. Scott Gulbransen calls it the biggest home game the Raiders have played since moving to Las Vegas.

Roster news first. Jack Bech goes to IR with a broken forearm, and Cody White comes up from the practice squad after scoring on each of his first three career catches, something only Torrey Smith had done in the last 30 years. Ashton Jeanty finished the Saints game after a trip to the medical tent, but his August ankle is worth watching. The name that matters most is Treydan Stukes. He's still in the concussion protocol, and without him at free safety the middle of the field opens up for Travis Kelce.

Then the defense by the numbers: an NFL-best nine takeaways, tied for the league lead in sacks with six different Raiders getting one, Nakobe Dean's league-leading 22 solo tackles and three forced fumbles, and the top EPA per play in football under Rob Leonard. On offense, Kirk Cousins is tied for the NFL lead with nine touchdown passes and is the first Raiders QB to throw three in each of the first three games. Scott also runs through where the national media stands, from NFL.com and SI moving the Raiders into the top 10 to Fox Sports still ranking them 20th.

Carrington Harrison of SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio and 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City joins to talk Eric Bieniemy replacing Matt Nagy, Kenneth Walker III leading the NFL in rushing, Patrick Mahomes going 14 for 14 on play-action against Miami, and Kelce's resurgence. He says the Chiefs haven't had a sack in 174 defensive plays and that Maxx Crosby is good enough to win this game by himself.

The Raider Nation Court of Public Opinion closes it out with calls from Florida, St. Louis, San Diego and upstate New York, and Scott makes his pick!

Are the Raiders Actually GOOD? 3-0 Start Put to the Test vs Chiefs

The Autumn Windbags — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 04:36:00 GMT

The Raiders are 3-0. So… are they actually good? RJ Clifford and Juan Soto break down why this Raiders start feels different, who deserves the credit, and the numbers behind one of the hottest starts in the NFL. Kirk Cousins has thrown three touchdowns in every game. The defense leads the NFL in takeaways. Nakobe Dean has emerged as the leader of the defense. Fifth-round rookie Hezekiah Masses is tied for the league lead in interceptions. And somehow, the Raiders have the fewest penalty yards in football. But now comes the real test: Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Can Clint Kubiak and Rob Leonard out-scheme Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo? Can the Raiders slow down Kenneth Walker? And if Las Vegas beats Kansas City, will the national media finally have to believe? Let us know: Are the Raiders FOR REAL?

Are the Raiders for Real at 3-0? The Chiefs Game Will Tell Us

Atomic Punk Media LLC — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The Las Vegas Raiders are 3-0 for the first time since 2021 after a 35-27 comeback win over the New Orleans Saints. Down 27-16 late in the third quarter at the Superdome, they scored 19 straight points and forced four fourth-quarter takeaways, including Hezekiah Masses' interception and Jeremy Chinn's strip of Tyler Shough on 4th-and-1. Scott Gulbransen also owns his pregame miss on the takeaways.

Then the question everyone's asking: is this team for real? Scott lays out three tests. The defense hasn't allowed a fourth-quarter point in three games. Kirk Cousins went 22 of 33 for 248 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers, which pushes the Fernando Mendoza timeline back again. And Klint Kubiak's second-half adjustments in his old building have NFL.com calling him the early Coach of the Year frontrunner. For each one, Scott says what would change his mind.

He also covers the schedule caveat (Miami and the Chargers are a combined 0-6), the 2021 comparison, Brock Bowers' 10-catch, 116-yard return, Jack Bech's broken forearm and trip to IR, and why Treydan Stukes' concussion status matters so much this week.

The Chiefs preview: Patrick Mahomes is 13-2 against the Raiders, Kenneth Walker III gives Kansas City a real run game, and Vegas has the Chiefs favored by around 5.5. Scott looks at whether Rob Leonard should blitz or make Mahomes be patient, why Bowers against the linebackers is the key on offense, and why Mike Washington Jr. deserves closer to 10 carries.

Thursday: Carrington Harrison of SiriusXM joins the show, Scott makes his pick and the Raider Nation Court of Public Opinion takes your calls.
