The rivalry between the Oakland Raiders-Kansas City Chiefs goes all the way back to the 1960s in the AFL with two great teams. The rivalry doesn’t always necessary go on the field for the Chiefs and the Hunt family were the ones who were able to broker the merger with the NFL in Dallas in a Dallas airport parking lot and at the same time edging out then AFL Commissioner Al Davis.

For the tonight in the Oakland Coliseum the pressure is on the Raiders (2-4) to make hay after so much hype that Las Vegas oddsmakers went as far as to predict the Raiders to get to the Super Bowl. That’s gone by the wayside with four straight loses starting with Washington, Denver, Baltimore, and San Diego. The Raiders have heard and can see for themselves the many complaints and pressure regarding their offense. With quarterback Derek Carr throwing two picks against San Diego last Sunday and losing two straight games at home.
