  Outlook: Less than a month ago, the Raiders looked like Super Bowl contenders, while the Chiefs were overlooked by pretty much everyone. Not anymore. Since its 2-0 start, Oakland has dropped four straight, while the Chiefs’ only blemish is a bizarre loss to the Steelers last week. There’s no reason to believe that the Raiders defense will turn things around on Thursday night, even in a crucial division game.
