8:22 p.m.: FINAL: Chiefs 30, Raiders 29. Travis Kelce had four touchdown receptions for the Chiefs, who won but didn’t cover as 7-point favorites. The Raiders, who blew a 17-0 first-half lead, missed a two-point conversion attempt with 4:27 left that would have given them the lead. The game went over the total of 51½.

8:19 p.m.: That initial bobble probably is going to cost Davante Adams a catch and first down.

8:14 p.m.: Live line now Chiefs -125, Raiders -105.

8:11 p.m.: Big stop for the Raiders defense, and they will get the ball back with 2:29 left in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs are -170 on the live line (Raiders +140).

7:51 p.m.: Four. Cuatro. Quatre. Vier. Travis Kelce catches another TD pass. The Chiefs lead 30-23 with 7:25 left in the fourth quarter. That should clinch it for the over as well. The Chiefs are -900 on the live line (Raiders +575), total 61½.

7:49 p.m.: Troy Aikman is not a fan of the officiating tonight.

7:48 p.m.: Matthew Wright yanks the 37-yard field-goal attempt, but the Raiders are called for defensive holding to keep the drive alive. The Chiefs are -700 on the live line (Raiders +475), total 60½.

5:29 p.m.: Derek Carr lofts a long pass to Davante Adams on fourth-and-1, and the Raiders lead the Chiefs 7-0 with 8:27 left in the first quarter. Nice call by Josh McDaniels. That’s Carr’s 200th career touchdown pass. The Raiders are +165 on the live line (Chiefs -200), total 54½.

5:22 p.m.: The punters are the MVPs after each team’s first possession.

5:08 p.m.: The most-bet player prop at WynnBET in terms of handle is Chiefs wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster Under 51½ receiving yards (-140). The most-bet player prop in terms of ticket count is Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams Over 79½ receiving yards (-125).

5:07 p.m.: Highlights from Caesars Sportsbook:

Kansas City is receiving 81.1% of the spread tickets and 67.2% of the handle. However, the three biggest spread bets are all on the Raiders — a Nevada bettor has $100,000 on Raiders +7 (Even), a New York bettor put $35,000 on Raiders +7½ (-125) and another Nevada bettor staked $25,000 on Raiders +7 (Even).

For the money line, Kansas City has 50.8% of the tickets and 59.7% of the handle. The largest Chiefs money-line bet is a $30,000 wager on Chiefs ML -350 for a potential win of $8,571.40 in Nevada. An Iowa bettor placed $20,006.86 on Raiders ML +285 for a potential win of $57,019.55.

The total has seen the tightest action. The over is bringing in 70.3% of the tickets, but it’s a dead heat in terms of handle. The over is just ahead by the slightest of margins at 50.02%. One Arizona bettor put down $110,000 on under 52 (-110), which is the largest wager so far.
