Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Aidan O’Connell / Over Passing Yards / 225.5 / -115 / 65% / O’Connell’s 68% completion rate in recent starts exploits Chiefs’ depleted secondary; Raiders’ pace supports 250+ yards against weakened pass rush.

Player Prop #3: Isiah Pacheco / Under Rushing Yards / 55.5 / -105 / 62% / Chiefs’ run game hampered by O-line injuries and third-string QB; Raiders front seven limits yards per carry to 3.8 in recent home games.
