What time is the NFL game today? Schedule, TV Channel, kick-off time, and How to watch Kansas City Chiefs vs. Las Vegas Raiders

December 25 will see the ‘Nickmas’ game between the Kansas City Chiefs (9-5) and the Las Vegas Raiders (6-8) take place at GEHA Field Arrowhead. Both the AFC West rivals shook off the disappointing results of Week 14 to record victories the following week. The Chiefs went to Boston and came away with a 17-27 win against the New England Patriots.

On the other hand, the Raiders put on a show for all ages. They put 60 points past the Los Angeles Chargers, which cost their head coach his job. These two teams met in Sincity on November 26, which the Raiders lost 17-31. In fact, the reigning Super Bowl champions haven’t lost to the Vegas franchise in their last six games.

The painful memory for Raiders fans will be that they gave up a 14-point lead. And they got a complete shutout from the Chiefs defense. It will be the second time in a month that rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell will face the Kansas outfit. The fourth-round pick is leading the club to a 3-3 record in the games he’s started.

It’s a must-win game for the Raiders, who are still in contention for the playoffs. As for the Chiefs, they could secure postseason football by replicating their early-season form.

Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders: Predicted line-up

Kansas City Chiefs:

Offense: Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco, Noah Gray, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Rashee Rice, and Richie James

Defense: L’Jarius Sneed, Justin Reid, Nick Bolton, Chamarri Conner, Derrick Nnadi, Willie Gay Jr., Chris Jones, Charles Omenihu, Trent McDuffie, Cam Jones, and Drue Tranquill

Las Vegas Raiders:

Offense: Aidan O’Connell, Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah, Brandon Bolden, Tre Tucker, Austin Hooper, and Hunter Renfrow

Josh Jacobs (questionable).

Defense: Divine Deablo, Jack Jones, Maxx Crsoby, Malcolm Koonce, Tyler Hall, Isaiah Pola-Mao, Maxx Crosby, Amik Robertson, Luke Masterson, Amari Burney, Robert Spillane, and Curtis Bolton

Why can the Kansas City Chiefs win?

The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best offenses in the NFL. With Patrick Mahomes pulling the strings from the center, they are the 8th-best offense, completing an average of 358.8 yards and scoring 35 touchdowns.

Andy Reid‘s team boasts the fourth-best defense in the NFL. They give up 293.2 yards per game and have only conceded 28 (8th best).

Why can the Las Vegas Raiders win?

The Raiders would want to bring their A-game to Arrowhead. If they show a speck of quality similar to that in the Chargers game, then the fans are in for a treat.

It’s clear that when Davante Adams has a good game, the Raiders tend to end up on the winning side. The All-Pro receiver gained his second 100 yards in 2023 last week. If O’Connell can connect with the veteran, the Chiefs will have trouble in their hands.
