NFL bet action on Sunday includes an AFC West rivalry game as the Kansas City Chiefs host the Oakland Raiders. Both teams are coming off opening losses so this game should be intense as neither team wants to start off the bet on football season at 0-2.
NFL bet numbers have the Chiefs as about a field goal favorite in this game. The Raiders are coming off a tough loss on Monday to the San Diego Chargers as they gave up a late TD to lose 24-20. It was just another frustrating loss for the Raiders but bettors were happy as Oakland did cover the football betting pointspread.
Kansas City is coming off a loss last week to Baltimore but they played better than expected. Without starting quarterback Matt Cassel, the Chiefs actually had the lead against the Ravens in the second half before losing.
The Chiefs have been a very good NFL bet in their home openers through the years. They are 14-6 in the last 20 home openers but they have lost their last two. Last year they fell 23-8 to the Raiders in their home opener. Kansas City is 12-6 (.667) vs. AFC West teams at Arrowhead since the start of the 2003 season.
The Raiders have struggled on the road recently, going 9-31 (.225) since the start of the 2004 bet on football season. Oakland is 4-11 (.267) on the NFL bet road against the AFC West during that time.
