Schule's NFL ULTIMATE of the ULTIMATE
(NFL) Oakland vs. Kansas City, 12/14/2014 8:00 AM, Score: 13 - 31
Point Spread: 11.50 | -122.00 Oakland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* play on the Oakland Raiders.

The Kansas City Chiefs are a double digit favorite this week against the Raiders, a team that they lost to in Oakland just a few weeks ago. That was the Raider first win of the season, and Oakland has gone 1-1 since. Last week they upset the San Francisco 49ers, winning 24-23.

The Chiefs haven't shown any indication that they deserve to be such a heavy favorite here, as they haven't been able to stop the run at all in recent games. They've allowed third string running backs to go over 100 yards in three straight losses. Oakland's Latavius Murray only needed four carries to gain 112 yards and two TDs in the win over Kansas City on November 20. Denver's C.J. Anderson and Arizona's Kerwynn Williams have shredded them the last two weeks.

Murray did not play in Oakland's ugly loss at St. Louis, but he returned last week running for 76 yards on 23 carries in the win over the 49ers. You can expect him to go over 100 again against a much weaker Chiefs run defense.

Oakland's defense looked pretty good last week against the run, stuffing Frank Gore limiting him to just 63 yards. I like the Raiders to hang on and cover an inflated spread here in KC.

Take OAK.
