KC +3 to OAK??????

[misterAction]

Can someone explain this to me? Last week, the Chiefs were -3 to the Bengals. Now they're dogs to the Raiders, who they have dominated since...well, forever? I know its in Oakland, but wtf?

:shrug:

My bad. But still, if they upset the Bengals, how could they be underdogs to the Raiders?

Good question as KC has beaten Oakland 8 straight games as well. I like the Chiefs as Culpepper only picks on weak defensive clubs like Miami. The Chiefs are hardly a great defensive, but they're at least middle of the pack and should win this game IMO.

On the road division game.

Still something smells & it's not just the Raider Fans :142smilie :mj07: :142smilie

I was wondering about this line myself when I saw it. I think the Chiefs will take this one SU. The Chiefs D really stepped up last week in the 1st half which I think gave them plenty of momentum for the 2nd half. I think the line last week for Cincy -3 was just high ecpectations for Cincy coming off of their Bye week, but their D is pitiful to watch. Cincy's D isn't near good to begin with, plus they are hampered with injuries at LB. The Chiefs D should have another solid week this week and force Culpepper to make some costly turnovers. I definetly think that the Chiefs are the play for this one.

Gl with what you play.

the line is fine...it's not a trap. it will get balanced action. both teams are average at absolute best.

both teams are on pace to exceed expectations going into the year. both were only thought to win 5 or 6 games.

the chiefs have played better lately, but are a mess at qb. beating cincinatti doesn't look so hot and although a dog, it wasn't really an upset, heck they had a better record and were at home. what has cincinatti done.

the raiders should be 3-2 if the kick in denver counted. they aren't great by any stretch, but they definitely should have covered against sd last week. they had 1st and goal on the 1 to end the first half and managed zero points and were within 7 with 2 minutes left and tomlinson was trying to run out the clock and broke free for 6.

i'd say both teams are evenly matched and 3 is a fine line. if you like the chiefs, than by all means bet em. not trying to disuade you. they might win by 14. who knows? just saying I don't think the line is wrong at all.

BBD, IS AN OBJECTVE GENIUS.......:shrug:

 

[gjn23]

what exactly do you think the line should be????

two avg to bad teams who are equal
two bad qb situations
division game
pick em game
give the home team the fg advantage on the spread

seems fine to me

kc as a road fav?????? no way.

 

[Destructor D]

Have to agree... I don't think the line is off. I would probably make it closer to a pick'em as KC has looked good in 2 of their last 3 games while Oakland snuck by Cleveland and beat a bad Miami team for their only wins.

KC isn't a very good team, but they have owned the Raiders in recent years winning the last 8 games against them. Culpepper is inconsistent as well and if Allen keeps getting pressure (he's had 6 sacks in 4 games and the Chiefs are 3-1 SU in games he's started), the Chiefs should win. Larry Johnson has enjoyed some nice games against Oakland as well so liking KC.

I expected to see a PK on this #. Line is asking for KC $$ imo, and they will get it. KC has been a win/lose team L/W/L/W/L/W. KC due for a L based off the trend. I was going to play Oak thinking the game would be a PK. After I saw the # I bought KC up to +3.5. I don't have any confidence in the KC offense, but Oak is Oak. I went 9-1 on my NFL last week so I would probably fade me. No way that continues. KC D has been solid. Jared Allen is a beast. LJ was on Boomer Grigsby's radio show last night- breaking out of his media shell and seemed to be in good spirits. I think that is big because he has been a negative force in the locker room lately. Now he's aparently in good spirits hangin w/the whiteboy fan favorite? That really is a bigger deal than people outside of KC realize. I've got KC +3.5 (-25). We'll see. I wouldn't take KC on the road getting 3 against many teams, but OAK is fortunate to have 2 wins (should be 3 w/o the Rat Shannahan.) They are not a good team and KC isn't either. I'll take 3.5 pts and 8 straight wins. Maybe I'm missing something? :shrug:

First off Cincinatti is a horrible team this year so dont base anything off of that game. Secondly if it looks too good to be true..., You know the rest.

 

[Dr. Fade]

I certainly don't think the # "looks too good to be true", but they are asking for KC $$ w/that line. Kiffen has brought a better environment in there and they are playing w/some heart. Should be a close game- I'll take the pts.

I would agree with the line. I grabbed +3 when it was available early in the week. I do have one disagreement:
People aren't giving Huard any credit, whatsoever. He's by no means headed to the Pro Bowl or anything, but he is certainly serviceable and I think does a lot of things better than Trent Green ever did (e.g. getting the Chief's best receiver T. Gonzalez the ball, etc.). He had a terrible game week one when Kennison went down and Bowe had not yet established himself. He's playing with a pretty crappy offensive line. And, lets not forget, this guy did have 11 tds and 1 pick last year. Calling this guy a mess is a stretch. GL.
