The Kansas City Chiefs will look to move past their home opening loss to the Raiders by heading to Atlanta this weekend to face the Falcons. The game is set to kick off at 1:00pm ET at the Georgia Dome and can be seen on CBS. NFL Picks at Looselines.com have the Atlanta Falcons as a -4.5 home favorite against the Chiefs.
Last week Kansas City made a strong push to be classified as the NFL's worst team. They were a favorite at home versus a Raiders team that looked terrible the previous week against the Broncos but they played as if they should have been a +20 underdog. Oakland completely dominated the line of scrimmage both offensively and defensively and the Chiefs looked helpless to do anything about it.
Starting quarterback Brodie Croyle was sidelined for the Raiders game with a sprained shoulder. Back-up Damon Huard got the nod in his absence, but he gave way to third -stringer Tyler Thigpen early in the first half. Thigpen is set to start this week against the Falcons.
Atlanta experienced a setback of their own last weekend as they lost 24-9 to NFC South rival Tampa Bay. The Falcons opened the season by running roughshod over Detroit in Atlanta. Running back Michael Turner could not duplicate his week one performance as the Buccaneers held him to 42 yards in 14 carries.
Head Coach Mike Smith and his offensive staff are no doubt planning to give Turner a heavy workload against a Chiefs defense that allowed 300 yards rushing to Oakland on Sunday (6.4 yard per carry average).
