Thursday night football - KC at Oak. KC is rolling after a rough game last Sunday at Arrowhead against SEA covering the +1 spread at home. There were several questionable calls against SEA, however it all counts to a home victory for KC (what would the line be if KC had lost to SEA). Now with their 8-1 ATS record they are on the road to visit the Raiders. Once again, we have a team that is on a roll against the Raiders who recently covered their 10 pt spread against SD (SD has dropped the last 5 ATS) last Sunday. Oakland’s ATS record is better than a few teams such as: Buffalo (4-6), Chicago (4-6), Atlanta (4-6), New Orleans (4-6), Tampa Bay (4-6), Seattle (4-6), St. Louis (4-6), the Giants (3-7), Washington (3-7), Tennessee (2-6-1), the Jets (2-7-1) and Jacksonville (2-7-1) and have covered as many games as three division-leaders: Cincinnati (5-4-1) Denver (5-5) and Detroit (5-5). Unfortunately, the Raiders ATS record is terrible at home (only 1 ATS win). They are on National TV only on the NFL channel which is begging for viewership however blowouts certainly aren’t helping their cause. Could KC be looking ahead? A sandwich game with a division rival? Resting players? Are the Raiders pesky enough for a backdoor cover? I’m waiting to see if the line goes higher than 8 (5 dimes) mark before KO.
"Resting Players." How long you been gambling, seriously? Last time I checked, and that was this am on the throne, they have six games left, and are nowhere near a playoff spot, yet. So really, resting??? And not thinking about drilling their most hated rival? Come on snake, you can do better than that, I hope. GL

KC did just play a tough game vs the SB champs. Now travel west on short week. I think teams that played SEA are like 2-5 ATS next game when playing the following week. DEN had a bye so thats not included.
Tamba Hali limited in practice. He may not be 100% on Thursday and that will hurt KC.
