On October 1st during the Raiders Broncos game David Carr was sacked and fractured his vertebrae. He came back last week and played vs the Chargers and looked tentative. Now he's playing on a short week as well. The Hedgie has no doubt that Carr is tough. But he doesn't look ready to play good football ! Also, the Raiders Oline has some injuries and hasn't played up to expectations. They are on an 0-4 skid and it appears David Carr is trying to be the savior. Sometimes a wounded team on a losing streak will come out and play great. The Giants did this last week in Denver. But this Raiders skid looks more injury based. This is a tough spot for them . The Chiefs have owned the Raiders in this Rivalry lately. They's won the last 5 meetings and are 4-1 ATS in that span. They are coming off their first loss of the season and the Chiefs are 14-3 ATS their last 17 road games. Hedgie expects an effort like week 1 when they traveled to New England and took care of business. Expect to see alot of Kareem Hunt vs the 23rd ranked run defense.
CHIEFS 24 Raiders 13
CHIEFS -3 5 stars
Chiefs / Raiders UNDER 46.5 2 stars (for the Raiders to have any chance they must run Lynch all night which lends itself to the under)
