Chiefs vs. Raiders
Play: Chiefs -2?
Kansas City has won and covered each of their last 5 games and are finally playing up to the potential that everyone expected to see when the season started. Oakland on the other hand is a team that is on the verge of falling apart. While the Raiders were able to snap a 3-game losing streak last week with a win over the Titans, they trailed 17-21 with less than 2 minutes to play before getting the game-winning touchdown with 1:21 left on the clock.
One of the key things here for me is the Raiders have really struggled to find a rhythm offensively over their last 3 games. They only had 14 points at home against the Vikings in Week 10 and 13 in Week 11 at Detroit. Hard to see them getting it turned around against a Chiefs defense that has been playing as well as any team in the league. Kansas City has allowed 22 or fewer points in every game they have played since Week 4.
I know the Chiefs lost at Oakland last year 20-24 as a 7.5-point favorite, but if you remember that was an awful spot for Kansas City. The Chiefs were coming off a huge 24-20 win at home against the defending Super Bowl champs in Seattle and had to travel to Oakland on a short week of rest for a Thursday Night game against a Raiders team that was 0-10. With the Chiefs giving the Raiders their full attention in the rematch later in the season, they crushed Oakland 31-13 at home and that was with the Raiders scoring a garbage touchdown in the final seconds. Overall the Chiefs have won 3 of the last 4 meetings and all 3 wins have come by at least 17 points.

Eagles / Patriots Under 49.5
I can't see the Eagles letting Bradford chuck it all over the field here..I expect Philly to use the run as much as they can keeping Brady on the sideline..Not that it will matter much being Brady will be without his two biggest stars on offense..Gronk and Edelman are both out..That will hurt the Pats coming off a loss to the Broncos..A tough game for the Pats for sure, but i expect them to compete here in this one...Philly defense has been torched the last few weeks and most in part to Sanchez and his 3 and outs..Now they get Bradford in here and i fully expect the Eagles to use Murray all game long grinding out first downs in thsi one...
I think the Philly defense can hold up here..I don't expect Bradford to have much success here passing the ball deep..he has to still be hurting a bit and another big shot could land him on the sideline again...Philly is still in the hunt for the division believe it or not...I expect them to play very very careful here....Brady might be limited here as well and he is prob tired of being pressured as well..Philly rush defense has been bad in recent weeks, so i expect NE to use the rush as much as possible here..
I'm surprised this number went this high..Maybe it ticks up to 50, but it will be certain to fall 1.5 to 2 points before kickoff..I'll grab the 49.5 here and feel very good we got a good wager in...FWIW +9.5 here with Philly seems good after the Pats first loss of the season...I got this one in the area of 24-17...Philly will show up for this game.

Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders
Prediction: Kansas City Chiefs
The Raiders came out of their Week 6 bye and won two of three games (lone loss by three points at Pittsburgh), while averaging 35.3 PPG. The team then seemed to ?hit a brick wall? offensively in back-to-back losses, scoring just 14 and 13 points. However, Derek Carr responded by going 24 of 37 for 330 yards (three TDs / 0 INTs) in Oakland?s 24-21 win at Tennessee last Sunday. Rookie WR Cooper caught seven passes fro 115 yards and fellow rookie Seth Roberts (from West Alabama, not quite the pedigree of Cooper?s alma mater, Alabama), added six catches for 113 yards with two TD grabs.
Carr was a HUGE surprise as a rookie (playing for a 3-13 team) and has sure put to rest any thoughts of a ?sophomore jinx.? He?s completing 63.5% for 2,895 yards with 24 TDs and just six INTs (101.5 QB rating). All this despite an on-and-off running game. Note that Cooper (58 catches / 14.7 YPC) and now Roberts have been HUGE additions, as has veteran WR Crabtree, who ?quietly? leads the team with 61 catches and six TDs.
While Carr is receiving plenty of praise, Alex Smith continues to ?fly under the radar.? However, he?s completing 63.8% percent and with 2,681 passing yards, is only about 200 yards behind Carr. His TD pass are just half (12) but Smith has thrown just THREE interceptions all season, NONE in his last eight games (streak of pass attempts without an INT has now reached 283!). What a story the Chiefs have been in 2015, following a Week 1 win with FIVE straight losses, going 0-5 ATS, as well. However, KC comes to Oakland on a five-game SU and ATS winning streak and at 6-5, currently owns the tiebreaker for the AFC?s 1st of two wild card spots.
The Chiefs are averaging a WHOPPING 32.0 PPG in their winning streak and I?m not sure against Carr and Co can match KC score-for-score. One last thing. The Chiefs are 15-5 ATS at the Coliseum since the Raiders returned to the Bay Area!
