Kansas City at Oakland Game Overview<br />

<p>
Kansas City was the last NFL team to fall from the ranks of the unbeaten with Sunday’s 19-13 loss to Pittsburgh as a 3.5-point home favorite. It was also the first time that the Chiefs failed to cover against the spread and the total stayed UNDER 46.5 points after going OVER in four of their first five games. They are 3-0 ATS on the road this season with total going OVER in two of the three games.

What worked to near perfection in Kansas City’s first five games came completely unwound against the desperate Steelers. Alex Smith looked very ordinary completing just 55.9 percent of his 34 passing attempts for 246 yards and one score, while the Chiefs’ vaunted ground game was held to just 28 total yards on 15 carries. Kansas City’s defense also took a big step backwards after getting gouged for 439 yards of total offense, including 194 yards on the ground.

Oakland’s current skid reached four games both SU and ATS with Sunday’s 17-16 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers as a three-point home favorite. The Raiders are now 2-4 (SU and ATS) on the year with the total staying UNDER in four of the six games. They are 1-2 ATS at home this season with the total going OVER in two of the three games.

While Derek Carr was back under center against the Chargers, the offense still sputtered when it came to moving the ball through the air. He ended the day with 171 yards passing and one touchdown throw to Michael Crabtree to go with a pair of interceptions. After rolling up a combined 71 points in its first two games of the season, Oakland has only averaged 13.3 points during this four-game slide.
