With back-to-back wins, the Raiders are now at .500 for the season at 4-4 and have covered in five of their first eight games. They’re 3-1 at home this season, although they’re just 2-2 against the number at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
Our Week 9 Free Pick:
The Raiders have scored over 90 points in the last two weeks and you get the sense that bettors are starting to believe. Call us skeptical, but we don’t think Oakland can keep this up. The Raiders can’t possibly keep this offensive display going and we think their win streak stops at two games. The Chiefs are 7-0 against the spread in their last seven trips to Oakland and the road team is 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings between these two teams. The underdog is also 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and the Chiefs are 4-1 ATS in their last four road games. Our pick is Kansas City, which wins outright.
