The hook is awfull tempting for most not to take in this division rivalry game but if you look a little deeper in this matchup you may think otherwise.
On the injury front the Raiders will be missing 2 offensive lineman, which will put a damper on their usual rotation on the offensive line. They also will be without their starting safety and a couple on the defensive line and that will spell trouble on a short week. Likewise, the Chiefs will be returning a few key players who have been out which will give them a boost with their depth.
The cold weather will affect the Raiders and Carr who has been horrible in games with a temp below 40 degrees. In the last matchup the Chiefs dominated on the ground in their blowout win at the Colusium and things shouldn't be any different tonight.
My projected line is right about at the current line of 3 to -3 1/2 but with the weather, short week on the road, injuries and other tangibles the Chiefs are the play tonight.
CHIEFS -3 1/2, -110
Good luck!
