Vermeil, Turner match wits in Chiefs/Raiders game
The Kansas City Chiefs come to town knowing their hosts need to win to keep pace in the AFC West race.
Both teams have a chance to improve their showing within the AFC West division. Oakland is 0-1 (0-0 in the division), while the Chiefs sit at 1-0 (0-0 in the division).
Defence may play a big role in this one, but that's mainly because experts don't think much of it will be played. Oddsmakers opened the total on the high side, a huge 53. That will require lots of offence - and porous defence - to surpass. Oakland, 0-1 ATS on the season, opens as a dog to the 1-0 visitors.
Last time out, at Arrowhead Stadium against New York, the Chiefs as favorites defeated New York 27-7. The game was a Kansas City cover and an under play.
Norv Turner's team was busy last game losing to New England 30-20 as 7.5-point underdogs. The 50 points sent that game over the total of 48.5.
Fans can expect Kansas City to try to force the ball down the throats of the Raiders' run defence. They come in with the league's #3 rushing attack, averaging 198.0 yards per contest.
