The Raiders, despite a 2-4 record, face the favored Chiefs, with rookie RB Ashton Jeanty underperforming despite heavy usage.

The Las Vegas Raiders, despite a 2-4 record, face the Kansas City Chiefs, who are favored by 12 points, as rookie running back Ashton Jeanty struggles to translate high workload into production, ranking 16th in yards from scrimmage despite third-most touches. The Chiefs' pass rush and return of Rashee Rice add pressure, while the Raiders' offense shows inconsistency, having been stuffed 11 times on 29 rushing attempts in their last game. In other Week 7 games, the Steelers are favored over the Bengals, the Rams are expected to beat the Jaguars in London, and the Browns are drawing increased betting interest despite being underdogs to the Dolphins. Rookie running backs have outperformed past seasons in total rushing yards, though few have secured starting roles. The Athletic projects the Steelers, Rams, and Chiefs to cover the spread, bringing their season record to 41-48-4 against the spread.
