It’s Kansas City (2-2) vs. Oakland (4-1) today in NFL football 2016.

Game time: 3:05 p.m. central

TV channel: CBS

One of the NFL’s great rivalries resumes — this is game 115, KC leads 60-52-2 — with the Chiefs needing to maintain their dominance in the AFC West. They’ve won three straight vs. Oakland and six straight within the division. Alex Smith loves seeing the Raiders on the other side of the line of scrimmage: He’s 7-1 with 18 TDs, three interceptions and a 106.1 passer rating in this matchup.

These are the new Raiders, though, formidable and, at last, a threat to make the playoffs, a place they last visited 14 years ago. They rank fourth in total offense, a necessity considering they are last in defense.
