Oakland Raiders +3.5
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. TheChiefs are going to have a hard time moving the ball in this one.
