QB Matt Cassell made 23 of 39 passes for 262 yards with two TD passes; overall he’s thrown for 1,256 yards with 10 TD passes and five interceptions for a 77.2 passer rating. RB Jamaal Charles had six carries for 36 yards, while WR Dwayne Bowe made four catches for 74 yards. WR Chris Chambers made three catches for 70 yards with two TD’s. For the first time since 2002, Kansas City will play a game without Larry Johnson on the roster this Sunday. The Chiefs released their longtime running back on Monday and will go with youngsters RB Jamaal Charles and RB Kolby Smith for the rest of the season. Charles has 29 carries for 152 yards and Smith has four carries for 17 yards in one game played this season. The Chiefs have no offense, just like the Raiders, and no defense, just like the Raiders . The Chiefs have won six consecutive games at Oakland and QB Matt Cassel is 7-4 on the road as a starter in his career. The Chiefs average 15.8ppg and give up 25.6ppg, while they are 1-3 SU on the road where they average 18.2ppg and allow 25.5ppg. They are 3-5 ATS and 4-2 over/under.The Raiders (2-6) lost at San Diego 16-24 in Week 8 and sat out last week with a bye. Against the Chargers, QB JaMarcus Russell made 14 of 22 passes for 109 yards with an interception; overall he’s thrown for 1,000 yards with two TD passes and nine interceptions for a 48.3 passer rating. RB Justin Fargas had 18 carries for 59 yards with a TD, while WR Zach Miller made five catches for 52 yards. Their O-line allowed QB Russell to be sacked five times. After coming off a bye week QB Russell must regroup and think about getting past the Chiefs 30th ranked defense. The Raiders have the worst offense in the league with a 30th ranked pass game and a 26th ranked running game. Although they mostly run the ball, they won’t get far against the Chiefs 28th ranked rush defense. Their defense is just as bad. Kansas City has surrendered an AFC-high 30 sacks this season and that has kept the offense from sustaining many drives. The Raiders have enough talented pass rushers (Richard Seymour, Greg Ellis, Tommy Kelly) to exploit the Chiefs' weakness. They only thing going for the Raiders is home field advantage, if even that! RB Justin Fargas has 462 career rushing yards against the Chiefs, his highest total vs. any opponent. The Raiders average 9.8ppg and give up 25.1ppg, while they are 1-3 SU at home where they average 9ppg and allow 23.5ppg. They are 4-4 ATS and 3-5 over/under. Recent Trends to Consider:
