So much emotion in that Raider game. Gannon might bust a gut trying to win and even humiliate the Bucs if that ever becomes possible. I'd pass.
If you base many bets on running and defense, how can you like KC if no Holmes? I think Vermeil should have stuck to his 3-year plan. He's a great guy. but he IS old and his sentimentality left him with the same gang of awful defenders. KC has virtually NO passing game on the field. KC's edges are their O-line and Dante Hall. Their receiving corps is much worse and they get an 'F' for defense as opposed to the Texans 'D'.
My call...with Holmes, KC 31-27. Without Holmes, HOU 27-20.
Don't underestimate Capers. He is a good coach. I will say that if D. Davis coughs it up twice again, anything is possible, but I would bet under half a fumble.

I've noticed one thing over time...when a major team is having problems, that home field ceases to be worth as much when they are decent-sized favorites. You have the big years - 12-4+ record, when they cover at home 6-2 or better, and you get the bad years where they still do ok when a tiny fav. or dog - KC, DEN, the old BUF all come to mind. But I see this moment for the Chiefs as a 'tweener, a poor reflection of their traditional home edge.
You emphasize the Chiefs O-line, which I grant you is a good edge for them. What about their ridiculous defense against a fairly explosive Texan offense? It's easy to get fixated on a favorite and not recognize that the wheels are nearly coming off
I've been there before.
Good luck whatever you decide...if Holmes is announced as definitely out, I recommend waiting for 6.5 or maybe even 6...I feel confident it breaks through 7.

Tampa? Tampa? Tampa?
The same Tampa with the worst offense in the NFL?
You are definitely seeing something I don't. I'm not saying Oakland is a great team, but Tampa? I think they have lost 8 out of their last 11 games!
Tampa's value is in the past performances. Go big on Oakland to cover what you've already lost on tampa.
Luck
