I am actually having trouble picking my nose lately so i would
be interested to know who you got.   Was going to go with KC to come out of their funk but with Marcus Peters out starting
to lean Oakland.   Carr's last two games at KC have not been
pretty though.    Won by one at Oakland so is +4 enough and
it turns into a field goal game.  Thoughts appreciated.

I don't know how anyone can trust either one of these teams. Over is the only play.

I took the over at 47 when it opened, thinking the losing team scores 24. Both teams have terrible defenses, both offenses can score 20+, KC came out strong last week and turning their play calling over could continue to put up points. OAK should be able to hold their own, especially without Marcus Peters. Up to 49 at 5dimes but I see a 27-24 KC win.

If Cooper plays I'd lean Raiders simply because Crabtree is back and without Peters, there will be someone to exploit in the secondary. Until KC can stop the run, I just don't see how they can be favored. It's a very sketchy line imo.

That's not what I heard in the Raiders twitter page. He practiced and is hoping to play. Peters is most definitely out.

If Cooper does not play the Raiders might actually win, that will be about 5 thrown passes by Carr that will be caught instead of dropped.

Dude, bet smarter... Don't just bet for the sake of betting... Oakland is 6 and 6 ATS, and KC is 4 - 7 - 1... Who in their right mind would risk actual money on either of those teams?

Yes go to another game, you obviously have no feel for this one. Dn't be stupid with your money, bet on something you feel more sure about.

That has all changed drastically since they fired Norton, the last two weeks have been completely different. It may not continue, that remains to be seen but has been better and they are focusing on the run more which is allowing their defense to not have to be on the field as much.

you may be right but games vs Denver and Geno Smith will help the stat sheet of any team.

 This is the cautionary note it is true lol...but up until then they did have a different look, no doubt though facing those two offenses will help any team. Still though as someone who watches all their games the defensive schemes have been much better since Norton departed. This Sunday will be a true test, sort of...K.C has been dreadful too but then their offense was great last week. I personally see a lower scoring game than the last one and Oakland keeping it tight and possibly winning. There are many question marks around this game and things to be seen. I do think Oakland can run on K.C and their 4.3 yards per carry allowed and I think they will and if they do they can control how this game plays out. I think Lynch will have his secong good week in a row.

Aside from Peterson the Chiefs will be without their starting center. The Raiders get Amerson back for their secondary and god knows they need all the help they can get there. I don't think Cooper will play but personally I like guys that can actually catch the football so i'm not bothered by that.

If KC scores under 35 I'll be surprised. but that's why they call it gambling.

Has to be better games to play.  Chiefs are a locker room train wreck.  Reid has no control anymore and is trying to reign the team in with the suspension.  Doesn't matter, this team is going no where.  The Arrowhead advantage is long gone, fans too know they are headed no where.  Place will empty out quick, tailgate and go.  Smith threw for 4 tds last week and they still lost.  A shootout between Smith and Carr may be the only thing Reid feels he has a chance on.  Pass on the game.

Thanks for all the input guys haven't been near a computer for the past few days.  A couple posters mentioned there are better games out there but i am really having trouble trusting any team this NFL season the worst i can ever remember.   This is one of the early games and i
will be watching it think it will be a good old smash mouth Oakland KC game fighting for a playoff spot as winner of the AFC west along with the Chargers.   With the line still at +4 going to place a small wager on the Raiders 100/190.90.  Biggest reason is Marcus is out and just don't think this KC team can turn around the downward spiral.  Thanks again for the input.
