Las Vegas Raiders vs Kansas City Chiefs

The NFL champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, are on display on Black Friday to headline the Week 12 football schedule, marking the first long weekend of the season.

Their game, as has been the tone of the Thanksgiving games, will be a divisional duel, traditional of the AFC West, against Las Vegas Raiders in a freezing cold field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kansas City began their title defence in overwhelming fashion, but have slowly run out of steam, although it has been enough for them to have a 10-1 record, finding incredible ways to win.

The bad news is that the defeat they suffered was at the hands of another AFC favorite, the Buffalo Bills, which anticipates that Kansas City’s road to another Super Bowl will be extremely complicated if it has to go through upstate New York.

On the other hand, there is not much. The Raiders are deeply involved in the discussion for the worst team of the season with the NY Giants. The team has had a disastrous season, with just two wins (2-9) and a palpable lack of talent on all lines. Over the weekend, the black and silver team fell at home to the Denver Broncos and a win on Friday would be a real early Christmas miracle.

The Chiefs also begin to have a crazy schedule in the last month of the season. In Week 13 they play on Sunday Night Football against the Chargers, then visit Cleveland in a midday game on December 15. In Week 15 they play on Saturday against the Texans and then for Christmas they visit Pittsburgh on Wednesday to close the season on Sunday visiting the Broncos.
