Ohh, the Raiders beat the Seahawks, lets be afraid.

I'm guessing the line will move the Raiders' way. People have a short memory when it comes to betting and they're looking at 2 ass-whoopings vs. a 75 minute victory over the worst team in football.

I'm a big believer in momentum, and they have it. It won't last forever. Maybe it ends this week. Either way I wouldn't bet against a scorching hot team at home in a division game.

As far as we go, this is a game where we basically have to do everything that we've been doing. Hold onto the ball, win field position. Mistakes will kill us. Getting behind early will kill us. Keep the game close, score when we're in range, don't give up big plays.

I can't believe I'm saying this. I absolutely hate conservative football. But Matt Cassel chucking the ball around is the last thing I want to see, even if Asamoawhoever is out with a high ankle.

i really don't see us getting blown out...solid d, strong running game...we're built to keep things close


plus, kc/oak games are almost always close regardless

we could have been up on the bills 21-0 easy...doubt we make that many mistakes again, we've generally looked well coached...

I actually figured we'd open at about +4.5

As good as KC's record is, the Raiders have been arguably the most dominant team in football the last 2 weeks and it's a home game.

I still wouldn't take the Raiders and give three points, but I'm surprised Vegas has that line as close as they do.

Either way its time to kick some Faider ass and revoke some parole orders!

the raiders have had about EVERYTHING go their way the last couple of weeks.
how many catches do they have that hit 2 or 3 people before being caught? how many interceptions that were the same way?


flukey plays. and with the way the ball bounced against us at every opportunity last week i'm betting it goes the other way this week

I hate that if we win this game they will play it off as " Chiefs beat a streaky Raider team" Meanwhile they Raider's cock is in every football analyst's mouth currently

Maybe,but I think we'll get some love if we beat them!

Lots.

Like I said - I wouldn't bet on the Raiders.

But when you consider the 3 point margin that comes with being the home team and the lopsided scores of the last few weeks, not to mention the fact that the Faid is close to Vegas so they tend to set those lines a little higher to try to catch some homers making stupid bets, I expected the line to be around Raiders -4.5

Whoa. LUCKY not to get blown out? Oakland beat up on 2 crap teams that cannot run the ball. I'm not saying we'll win, but the notion of us getting blown out is a bit out there.

I hope so, a second division win would be golden & it's on the road.

Raiders have too many injuries right now, I am shocked the number isn't closer to even.

Also they have a tough time stopping the run, which the chiefs should really take advantage of but probably will try to throw more than they should.

This is not even going to be close. I was more worried about the Bills game - a winless team on the road with nothing to lose can be dangerous like a wounded animal. The Raiders have won two back to back blowouts against an imploding Broncos team and the unlucky Seahawks.

They are going to have an overinflated sense of confidence and invincibility. They are a streaky team with some weapons but also a lot of holes, and they are not coached particularly well. They are going to expect the 2009 Chiefs to show up and be totally shocked at what they see.

I predict the Chiefs go to an early lead and the Raiders spend the whole rest of the game playing catch-up. Going to be a shit-ton of run yards when it's all over. KC by two touchdowns and change.

Underdogs. Just the way I want it.
