SEPANG, Malaysia -- Lewis Hamilton finished final practice for the Malaysian Grand Prix with a comfortable margin over the rest of the field, while Nico Rosberg struggled to match his teammates pace and fell into the battle between Red Bull and Ferrari.Hamilton was 0.445s quicker than Red Bulls Max Verstappen in second, who managed to beat Rosberg by 0.174s and force the German to settle for third. Rosberg made a mistake on his first flying lap, but will be concerned by the gap to Hamilton that currently stands at 0.619s.Kimi Raikkonen was fourth fastest in the Ferrari, just 0.097s off Rosberg, as the Italian team hopes to put itself in a position to emulate last years victory at Sepang. Sebastian Vettel improved on his second attempt on soft tyres and was just 0.020s off his teammate by the end of the session.Daniel Ricciardo was over a second off the pace of Hamilton, but set his quick lap earlier in the session when conditions were not at their best. However, the gap of 0.582s to teammate Verstappen means he will need to up his game significantly in order to continue his recent run of strong results against the Dutch teenager.Nico Hulkenberg, Valtteri Bottas and Carlso Sainz occupied seventh, eighth and ninth place, in what appears to be a close battle between Force India, Williams and Toro Rosso.

Teammate Fernando Alonso finished last, but with a 45-place grid penalty hanging over him he had no reason to chase lap times and instead focused on setting his car up for the race.Once again, Renault appear to be knocking on the door of the midfield with Jolyon Palmer up in 14th, splitting the two Haas drivers.

On Oct. 16, the Chiefs went to Oakland and beat the Raiders 26-10. Another win on Thursday night would give Kansas City a sweep and a tiebreaker advantage over Oakland. Thats particularly important because the Chiefs have a schedule advantage in the final three games. Both teams go to San Diego, but the Chiefs also get the Titans and Broncos at home, while the Raiders get the Colts at home and the Broncos on the road.On the other hand, a Raiders win would give Oakland a two-game lead over Kansas City. Even with the easier of the two remaining schedules, thats almost insurmountable.So in simulations in which the Raiders win on Thursday, they go on to win the AFC West 88 percent of the time. In simulations in which the Chiefs win, they go on to win the AFC West 68 percent of the time.
