Chiefs 1.5 points favorites in Oakland.

That's some kind of love. I'm a little shocked.

The league is still high on the Raiders. Give it a few more games till the love fest on them is done.

[24champ]

i dont know who to pick in this game for my PICK'em league. I dont want the cheifs to go 2-0 but would love to see the raiders fall 0-2 but i guess i will do it the old fashion way...eenie minnie miney moe.....

[Rulon Velvet Jones]

Take the Chiefs, Vikings, Steelers and Bills this week. Easily.

[Popps]

We're giving 3 against SD. Somewhat of a surprise after Sunday.

[Pezman]

After the bloodbath some Vegas books took last week with the Rams and Broncos games respectively, I'm sure the lines are going to be a bit more strange.

If I was a betting man, I'd take the over on that KC - Fade game big time (assuming its under 50)

O/U is 53 1/2 and the over would probably be a good bet if the number was 60.

If SD goes 0-2 this division is wide open for the taking...

Wait until Sunday night around midnight if you think you are shocked now :militia:

[RukdaFaidas]

I'm concerned about the Chiefs' injuries. 3 of the 4 injuries were to pro bowl players and the fourth, Sims, is probably our weakest depth position.
The one that concerns me most is Roaf. If Roaf doesn't play, our running and passing game is severly hurt. For the last 1.5 years, the Chiefs have only been successfull running to the left side. Defenses know this, but they can't stop it because Roaf and Waters are that dominant. With Roaf out of the picture, they won't be able to run to the left and I don't like having Jordan Black covering Trent's backside. I'm hoping they do as they did in years past and move Shields to LT and put Bober at RG.

[redrage]

I'm not really sure why fans are so confident that KC is just going to go into Oaklnad and beat the Raiders. On the road against a bitter division rival in their home opener is not my idea of a cakewalk. Same with Denver last season. Most Chief fans were confident in that game, but I just couldn't see it. Winning on the road in this division is TOUGH. When two bitter rivals play each other, throw out the records. ANYTHING can happen.

Chiefs are 1-0, didn't ya get the memo man, they beat the J-E-T-S last week, they won the one week AFC West season last week

I see the same sort of confidence from SD fans. Many of them look at the game Denver had last week and assume they will play that way again. Teams with homefield advantages like Denver are much tougher at home than on the road. But you go to a SD forumn you can't find one person who is even concerned about not beating Denver. I don't get it. When was the last time they won in Denver?

I agree, I don't think the Donks will win, because of the injuries, but.... I do think they will show up next week and lose by no more than 3 or 4 points

I always hate home dogs on a big stage

be careful KC

no kidding. What's the record for most points scored in one game? This could look like a basketball score

[NaptownChief]

If you are an AFC West fan this is a good weekend. If you are a Donk or Bolt fan you have the luxury of knowing that at least the Chiefs or the Faiders will lose and if you are a Chiefs or Faider fan you have the luxury of knowing that at least the Bolts or Donks one will drop to 0-2. No matter what happens there is a little bit of a silver lining for everyone.

I have to admit that I have enjoyed the board meltdown this week and I'm a little biased in who I want to see go 0-2.

If we are 2-1 and the Donks are 1-2 I can live with that.

!Booya! guess we can put the W on the schedule next to the cheifs game.

Golden Joe Montana....1994 MNF...Chiefs at Pile High...Willie Davis...Ring a bell?

If we're 2-0 and we go in there facing an 0-2 Denver squad, I'll be expecting a KC win. ;D

Man that was one of the best MNF games ever.

I definitely can't think of a better one....It has to be pretty damn good for me to be able to not only remember the game but also the year..especially when that year was over a decade ago.

No matter who is your favortie team might be that game has to rank right up there...That was one of those rare games when even non-football fans were walking around the next day saying "man, did you see that game last night?"...Probably won't see another game like that again where it is not only crazy excitement but being battled by two of the biggest heavyweights of all time like Elway and Montana.

I don't know. The 1997 game when Grbac to Rison beat the Raiders was pretty good. Went 80 yards with no timeouts and 50-some seconds to play. That was pretty awesome.

Last year's Monday night victory at Baltimore was pretty entertaining even though KC was still only 1-3 afterwards.

[bendog]

I dunno. I think the chorfs are a danger. I'm routing for the faide.

[Maximus]

I suggest that all queef fans check the Raiders record in home openers... They'll find that getting a win doesn't bode well.

Willie Roaf - T - Chiefs


According to the Kansas City Star, LT Willie Roaf (hamstring) will likely miss Sunday's game.

If he doesn't play it might be somewhat harder for KC to walk out of Oakland with a win.

That is definitely a big blow if he doesn't play....Fortunately Surtain looks like a go but losing Roaf is a big kick in the crotch. Losing Sims doesn't really hurt our starting lineup IMO but despite him being an underachieving bust he does add solid depth for the rotation so that is a minor ding also.

Yup. BTW, did you happen to see which team gave them their last home-opening loss? KC is one team that shouldn't be intimidated going into that arm pit.

[Bronco9798]

I hate to say this but I'll be pulling for the Raiders Sunday night. We need the Chiefs to lose.

What about that Sampson guy? Is he going to be a go or not? Two guys down would be tough to over come.

[bendog]

maybe a good think if the Faide has no pass rush off the ends.

[NaptownChief]

They think he is most likely going to play....I sure hope so. If you are down to your 3rd and 4th best tackles starting by week 2 that usually doesn't bode well. If that happens all I can say is thankfully it is the Raiders and their pitiful run D cause that would be one of the few situations where we might still be able to run the ball.

That's right....KC!

I suggest Raider fans just check their record period in the last several years....Getting a W from them has been as tough as getting a rock in a crack house with a pocket full of Benjamins.

if we go 0-2 ill be pissed and could care less if the Chefs or Raiders lost.

If you are going to be that upset at 0-2....Please give your ammo to a neighbor before the Monday Night 0-3 reality sets in.

The Chefs defense will be exposed in Oakland.Moss will have 3 tds.

Yeah, they all put it behind them. Untill the next time.

Jesus, this is a hard one. I'm thinking the Chiefs will be better than the Raiders this year so I should root for the Raiders, but I just can't. Maybe I'll root for a giant earthquake that swallows up both teams.

[Circle Orange]

Defending the Raiders is easy since all they do now is throw to Moss, even if four guys are hanging on him. And oh yeah, run once in awhile. Its the "one wideout, one running back" offense. If any coach has truly snapped in this division, its Turner. I never saw so many three and outs. Only a boob expects to have an offense of 20-40 yard passes a pop.

Yea , I was very critical of them doing that too, I hope they don't do that anymore
