This Sunday we get to find out if practice, preseason, or knowing your offense and teammates mean anything as the Raiders throw Carson Palmer on the field against the Chiefs in a division game after some 3 days of practice. So look for a big dose of Darren McFadden and Michael Bush early on as they try to get Palmer comfortable. The Chiefs secondary has given up a ton of big plays since the loss of all world safety Eric Berry so expect the Raiders to try some deep shots as well. Can a player come off the street and win a division game? Will Tamba Hali eat Carson Palmer for dinner Sunday night? We really don’t know and are basing this mostly on our pure hatred of the Raiders so we are going to say the Chiefs prevail.
Our prediction: Kansas City 24 – Oakland 23
