Las Vegas at Kansas City

What used to be a battle for AFC supremacy has turned into a battle for the basement in the AFC West. How the once mighty have fallen. So, which team is finally getting off the mat? I'm not sure if either is, but if you look at the drafts and the progress, you would have to consider the Raiders a brighter prospect at this point, at least in the near term. The biggest improvement by the Raiders was seen on the offensive line in week one. The Chargers could not get any pressure on Jamarcus Russell and had just one sack, as Russell connected on several long passes. If he wasn't way off on a few others, he would have thrown at least one more touchdown. Darren McFadden and Michael Bush give the Raiders a ground game that should find room against the Chiefs, opening the door for Russell to strike long again as the Chiefs simply have no pass rush. Richard Seymour on the Oakland defensive line made a difference already as the Raiders were putting a lot of pressure on Phillip Rivers. The Chiefs are going to have a hard time moving the ball in this one. While KC used to rule at home, but the talent has left the building and so have the covers as they are just 4-11 ATS at home over their last 15 games. The Raiders have covered seven of nine games this decade as an underdog in KC. I think the Raiders are a much-improved team, and we are getting the better team here and points to go with it.
