Raiders @ KC

[cweh]

Need some suggestions here. I'm contemplating to add raiders to my 3 game "underdog" parlay. I like their D from week one, but can they continue to pressure the QB? I know betting against KC in KC is not a good idea, but KC is a terrible team. Any thoughts???

I like Oak +3

Do your homework. Read up, and make the decision yourself. Should go with your own thoughts.

Yup, make your mind up - that's what this is all about

However, since you asked...I kinda like the Raiders here, but not enough to bet them on a short week after a big effort versus SD.

Oakland +3

I think this is that kind of game where it's gonna pay to be lucky. Fact is Oakland doesn't do a good job of protecting the ball, Kansas city did last week and they're at home. Not protecting the ball basically removes being able to trust a team to get the job done, a few plays and this one can go eitherway. I know that statement basically rings true for any football game but at least most teams are somewhat reliable and there are some piss poor offenses

KC for sure,oakland has no qb

From my blog this week.

Kansas City -3
Alot of people around here are shocked at how well Oakland played against San Diego last Monday night, and they should be. There is no reason that Oakland should have been in that game. Watching that game, a few things were very visible. Jamarcus Russell has some serious arm strength with some serious issues regarding accuracy. San Diego wasn't able to exploit the many mistakes Russell made throughout the game. Oaklands Defense looked great, but a closer look at it, shows it was a very basic man defense that I think Bowe will be able to exploit better than some of the San Diego receivers where able to do. Take into account Kansas City is 10-2 against Oakland in the last 12 games, and 15-5 against Oakland in Kansas City over the last 20 years. I don't see this game being a blowout by the Kansas City offense, but I don't think Oakland hangs in as tough as they did last week. This Oakland team is a horrible team who played well above their level last week. Profit off their overrated potential this week as they lose by a touchdown in Kansas City.
2 Units on KC -3

Is Cassell out? Last I heard he was not going to play.

KC will not stop OAKs ground game.

Russell doesn't have to throw 40 yard passes (but he will) to win this game.

OAK +130

[Mikail]

Lot's of better games to play! If I had to pick here... I would go with KC -3

[EaglesPhan36]

OAK +3. KC still has no O, OAK can run, KC had lots of D issues last week. Big trend toward the road team ATS in this series.
