I dont see rain as an advantage for the Chiefs. It will just slow both offenses. In the Chiefs case it will just make it even harder on a small ball offense that has a hard enough time inching its way downfield in good conditions. Chiefs D has to get to Carr and cause multiple TOs. Chiefs O just needs to capitalize on the opportunities the D and ST sets them up with.
The Raiders will take chances down field even if the weather is bad so I expect TOs from them. The Chiefs will get even more conservative. The Raider D is bad so they probably wont realize to crowd the box and watch for the screens till after they get burned for big gains on a couple of Smiths 3yrd passes. The Raider D might just might be bad enough the Alex Smith passing attack can work against them.
