Nnamdi, Louis Murphy out... Zach Miller on crutches...

DHB still has a lot to prove, Ford hasn't done much, and Miller being 50% will hurt the raiders.

They will have to run the ball to win.

But more importantly can the Raiders D stop the Chiefs running game?

Yeah, here are the two teams running stats:

Chiefs:
Rushing offense - 5.2 ypc, 190 ypg and #1 in the NFL
Rushing defense - 3.8 ypc, 96 ypg, and #7 in the NFL

Oakland
Rushing offense - 4.9 ypc, 168 ypg, and #2 in the NFL
Rushing defense - 4.7 ypc, 127 ypg, and #26 in the NFL

The Chiefs are doing better in both categories and much better in run defense. Oakland won't be able to win without going to the air.
