Chiefs At Raiders – NFL Football Odds
Games Guy | February 6, 2012
NFL football odds will be set for one from the greatest regular rivalries in all of football betting as the Oakland Raiders host the Kansas City Chiefs. NFL football odds fans recall the glory days when these two teams had been the top football betting commodities on the board but now they are among the worst teams in football.
The Kansas City Chiefs have a NFL football odds record of 1-7 upright and 3-5 against the spread. The Chiefs have been a decent football betting value as of late, on the other hand, as they have gotten the cash in 3 out of their last 4 online betting matchups. Last week Kansas City lost at Jacksonville 21-24 but covered the NFL football odds as 7-point road dogs. The Chiefs rank 30th using the NFL football odds on both offense and defense.
The Oakland Raiders have a record of 2-6 straight up and 4-4 with the NFL football odds. The Raiders are coming off a 17-24 loss at San Diego on November 1 as 16-point dogs using the NFL football odds. The Raiders rank dead last using the NFL football odds on offense while ranking 26th in the league for defense.
The Chiefs and Raiders previously met on September 20 at KC as the Raiders scored a 13-10 win as 1-point dogs using the NFL football odds. The Chiefs created news Monday once they cut running back Larry Johnson, who had various off the field difficulties with KC ever due to the fact his arrival in 2003.
The Raiders have had all sorts of off the field complications revolving about head coach Tom Cable and his allegedly violent past. Cable was rumored to have broken the jaw of assistant coach Randy Hanson this past summer camp. Though no charges were brought it did trigger some women of Cable’s past to step forward and allege that he abused them each verbally and physically. This has brought on escalating public pressure for Cable to be suspended or perhaps fired. Cable is just not pleased with the situation or his offense.
“I just feel like there have been obvious issues that are out of our control,” stated Cable. “I’m not an excuse guy, but I think not having enough quality people on offense has really hindered us.” Kansas City has covered their last 5 consecutive trips to Oakland as well as the two teams have gone under the total in 6 out of their last 7 matchups at “the Black Hole.”
