Raiders vs. Chiefs Monday NFL injury report, odds, trends: Bettors big on Kansas City, Travis Kelce to score touchdown

Week 5 of the NFL season closes with an AFC West matchup tonight as the Kansas City Chiefs look to continue their recent dominance of the Las Vegas Raiders. Bettors at BetMGM seem to think that will happen as 86% of the tickets and 85% percent of the money is on Kansas City -7. The teams usually play high-scoring affairs, and 67% of the tickets and 68% of the money are on the Over 52 points.

It appears that both teams are in pretty good shape injury-wise. The Chiefs haven't had Pro Bowl kicker Harrison Butker since a Week 1 injury and still won't, but the only other notable injury is wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster being listed as questionable with a quad issue. He's expected to play. The former Steeler has 19 catches for 224 yards. Matthew Wright made his kicking debut last week for Kansas City at Tampa Bay and will serve in that role again. He was 2-for-2 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points.

For the Raiders, linebacker Jayon Brown (16 tackles) will sit but fellow linebacker Denzel Perryman is out of the concussion protocol and will play. Ditto receiver Hunter Renfrow. He has been out since Week 2 but has 10 catches for 80 yards.

As of now, the two most-wagered props at BetMGM tonight are on Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end Travis Kelce, who has 26 catches for 322 yards and three scores on the year. Those props are on Kelce to be the game's first TD scorer at +500 and for an anytime touchdown at -175. The third most-popular prop is Patrick Mahomes Over 2.5 passing touchdowns at +140. The Chiefs blew out the Raiders twice last year. Mahomes had five TD passes in one and two in the other.

Mahomes has been using his tight ends and running backs as receivers a lot more this year with Tyreek Hill now in Miami. Tight ends and running backs have 54% of the Chiefs' catches, 48% of their yards and 82% of their receiving touchdowns. Those numbers last year were 46% of the receptions, 43% of the yards and 46% of the touchdowns. The Chiefs are one of three teams this season with less than 20% of their touchdown receptions coming from a wide receiver.

Mahomes is set at over/under 279.5 passing yards tonight. If he reaches 300, he would surpass Hall of Famer Dan Marino (32 games) for the most 300-yard games by a player in his first six seasons in NFL history. Mahomes is 5-1 straight-up and 4-1-1 against the spread on Monday Night Football. 

New Las Vegas receiver Davante Adams needs five receptions to become the fifth player in NFL history with at least 700 receptions and 75 touchdown catches in his first nine career seasons. Adams is set at over/under 6.5 receptions.
