#4 The Las Vegas Raiders (3-2) shocked the NFL world with a any given Sunday 40-32 win over the Kansas City Chiefs (4-1) at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders quarterback Derek Carr came in with a solid game plan throwing for 347 yards and three touchdowns.

#5 The Los Angeles Dodgers quickly got behind the Atlanta Braves in the NLCS losing the first two games of the series but the Dodgers a team who never gives up and they’ve showed that all season who lost by just a run on Tuesday night 8-7.
