NFL betting odds has the game between the Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs very competitive in Week 2 action. The Raiders look to have more overall talent with running back Darren McFadden and quarterback JaMarcus Russell but the Chiefs are at home and they are always a solid football betting choice at Arrowhead.
NFL stats show that the Raiders had a lot of trouble against the run last season. That could be a factor in this game considering the Chiefs have Larry Johnson. The Raiders made some good off-season moves on defense including picking up Gibril Wilson and DeAngelo Hall according to football betting information but that those players are known more for their pass defense than their run defense skills. The Raiders will look to run the ball as well considering they had the 6th best rushing offense in the NFL a year ago according to NFL statistics. McFadden should only improve those NFL numbers this season.
