Football It's Raiders Week!!!!!

We're only 1.5 point dogs in most places, which means Vegas gives us the edge on a neutral field...

Look, this game to me just lines up really well for us. History tells me to expect the Chiefs to win.

For one, you've got Reid and that post-bye week record which is insanely good. That's no coincidence.

Then you take into account that the Chiefs just got their asses handed to them on national TV, and they're going to have something to prove in a divisional game. Defensively, Oakland has been a sieve and this will be a good opportunity to get the offense rolling and hopefully re-establish their identity by running the football to open up the passing game and allow Smith to use his legs more again. This may be the first game we've seen where Charles, Ware, and West are all available for the offense and get work. That could be an a big boost. Offensively, Oakland looks good but again, the defense should have plenty to prove this week and I think they should play pretty well...

Chiefs 30, Raiders 17. Rebound game. Charles houses a 40 yard score late in the 4th to seal the win.

And no, I'm still not sold on us being a SB contender until proven otherwise, but this is how I see this week going.
