Sign up for PrizePicks with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/SILVER What's WRONG with the Raiders' running game? Is Ashton Jeanty the problem, is the offensive line failing to create running lanes, or is there something bigger going on with the Las Vegas Raiders' offense? Jesse Merrick and former Raiders wide receiver Ryan Scott Hoag went back and watched EVERY Ashton Jeanty carry to figure out why the Raiders are struggling to run the football through the first four weeks of the NFL season. The numbers are concerning. The Raiders are averaging just 3.5 yards per carry on designed runs, the sixth-fewest in the NFL. They're also averaging only 0.3 yards before contact, with ball carriers getting hit at or behind the line of scrimmage on nearly HALF of their rushing attempts. But here's where things get interesting: The Raiders rank 12th in ESPN's run-block win rate. So what's actually going wrong? Ryan explains why he believes Jeanty doesn't look like the same explosive, decisive running back we've seen in the past, while Jesse breaks down the offensive line struggles, particularly at guard, and why there's plenty of blame to go around. The guys also discuss how Klint Kubiak can get the rushing attack back on track against the New England Patriots, why Kirk Cousins is playing at such a high level despite the offense's shortcomings, and whether the Raiders need more production from their wide receivers. Plus, Dont'e Thornton Jr. is back at practice! Could his speed provide the missing element in the Raiders' passing attack? Finally, Jesse and Ryan turn their attention to the defense, what stood out against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and how Las Vegas matches up against Drake Maye and the Patriots. 🏴‍☠️ ON TODAY'S SHOW: 🚨 What's REALLY wrong with the Raiders' rushing attack? 🏃 Ashton Jeanty breakdown: Is hesitation holding him back? 🧱 Is the Raiders' offensive line the bigger problem? 📊 The surprising run-blocking stats that don't match the production 🧠 How Klint Kubiak can fix the running game 🎯 Why Kirk Cousins continues to impress 👀 Are the Raiders' wide receivers actually struggling, or is it the offensive scheme? ⚡ What Dont'e Thornton Jr.'s return could mean for the offense 🔥 Nakobe Dean, Taron Johnson and the Raiders' defensive standouts 🛡️ The defensive line concerns after Kenneth Walker's big game 🏈 Raiders vs. Patriots preview: Can Las Vegas exploit New England's defense? 💥 How the Raiders can pressure Drake Maye without blitzing 🔑 The biggest keys to getting back in the win column 💬 QUESTION OF THE DAY: What do you think is wrong with the Raiders rushing attack?

Sign up for PrizePicks with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/SILVER The Chiefs vs. Raiders game could come down to three critical matchups — and the numbers reveal where Sunday's massive AFC West showdown could be won or lost. Jesse Merrick dives deep into the analytics behind three HUGE swing factors in this matchup — beginning with a Chiefs rushing attack that looks completely different with Kenneth Walker. Walker has been one of the NFL's most difficult running backs to tackle, and Kansas City has overwhelmingly attacked one particular side of opposing defenses. That creates a fascinating decision for Rob Leonard involving Maxx Crosby, Kwity Paye and Malcolm Koonce. Then we turn to Mahomes. Where can the Raiders generate pressure? Should they blitz a quarterback who has historically punished the blitz? And can Maxx exploit a vulnerable part of Kansas City's offensive line? Finally, it's Kirk Cousins and Klint Kubiak vs. Steve Spagnuolo. The numbers reveal a massive difference in Kirk's performance against single-high and two-high coverages — making the Raiders' struggling rushing attack even more important this week. Then Matt Perrault from Pushing the Odds joins the show for another edition of Raiders Rounders to break down the game, the odds surrounding Sunday's game, and the biggest matchups around the AFC West and NFL. Matt expects a fight, telling Jesse he believes the Raiders will be in the game late and that Maxx Crosby could be in store for a monster performance. On today's show: - 🏃 Why Kenneth Walker has completely changed Kansas City's rushing attack - 🛑 The key to slowing down Walker's explosive runs - 👀 Why KC keeps running one direction in particular - 😤 Where Maxx could have a major advantage attacking Patrick Mahomes - ♟️ Rob Leonard's blitz dilemma against Mahomes - 🧠 Kirk Cousins vs. Steve Spagnuolo - 🚨 The coverage look that could cause BIG problems for the Raiders - 🏴‍☠️ How Brock Bowers could attack Kansas City's secondary - 🎲 Raiders Rounders with Matt Perrault - 📊 Raiders-Chiefs betting breakdown and Week 4 picks QUESTION OF THE DAY: What matchup(s) are YOU most interested in watching in the Chiefs vs. Raiders game?

Sign up for PrizePicks with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/SILVER The Kansas City Chiefs have something they haven't had in years: a dangerous rushing attack — and Kenneth Walker has completely changed what defenses have to account for. But while Walker has unlocked another dimension for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense, Kansas City also has a weakness the Las Vegas Raiders may be uniquely equipped to exploit. Sterling Holmes, host of the Arrowhead Addict Podcast and co-host of The Zone on Sports Radio 810 in Kansas City, joins Jesse Merrick to break down Raiders vs. Chiefs from the Kansas City perspective. Walker isn't just producing on the ground. His presence is forcing defenses to respect the run, creating opportunities off play action and making life easier for Mahomes. Sterling explains why this version of the Chiefs offense feels different — and what the Raiders have to do to slow it down. On the other side, there's an intriguing matchup that could swing things in Vegas' favor. Sterling sees a significant advantage for Maxx Crosby and the Raiders pass rush against Kansas City's offensive tackles, and the Chiefs also have to figure out how they're going to deal with Brock Bowers. On today's show: - 🏃 How Kenneth Walker has transformed the Chiefs offense - 🎯 Why the new rushing attack is making life easier for Patrick Mahomes - ♟️ How KC's run game has unlocked its play-action attack - 🛑 What the Raiders must do to slow down Walker - 😤 Why Maxx Crosby could have a HUGE advantage - ⚔️ Raiders pass rush vs. the Chiefs offensive tackles - 🙏 How Kansas City plans to deal with Brock Bowers - 🏴‍☠️ Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. vs. the Chiefs front seven - 🧠 Kirk Cousins vs. Steve Spagnuolo's defense - 🔑 The matchups that could decide Raiders vs. Chiefs - 🔮 Sterling's prediction for Sunday's AFC West showdown QUESTION OF THE DAY: What matchup are YOU watching most closely in the Chiefs vs. Raiders game — and why?

Sign up for PrizePicks with code HMA and get $150 in lineups if your first $5 lineup wins! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/SILVER Are the 3-0 Raiders actually for real — or are they the biggest “frauds” in the NFL? A recent analytics model labeled the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders as the league's biggest frauds through three weeks. But does the evidence actually support that? Jesse Merrick and former Raiders wide receiver Ryan Hoag dig into the numbers behind the Raiders' 3-0 start and separate what's potentially sustainable from what should legitimately concern Raider Nation. There are plenty of reasons to believe this start isn't a fluke. The Raiders have protected Kirk Cousins, generated pressure defensively, played disciplined football, won on special teams and found different ways to win each week. And now Brock Bowers is back in Klint Kubiak's offense. But there are warning signs, too. The running game has struggled, turnovers have played a significant role in the Raiders' success and the schedule is about to get MUCH tougher. Then we turn our attention to Raiders vs. Chiefs, as two 3-0 AFC West rivals meet with first place on the line. We break down the advanced stats behind the matchup and the biggest keys for Vegas against Patrick Mahomes, Kenneth Walker and Kansas City.
