The Kansas City Chiefs have a 5-1 record as they're coming off their first defeat this season in last week's 19-13 home loss against Pittsburgh. I like the Chiefs to bounce back strong here when they visit the Oakland Raiders Thursday night.

The Raiders are in bad shape, entering the game on a four-game losing streak during which they've averaged only 13.2 points per game. Quarterback Derek Carr was 21-of-30 passing for just 171 yards with one TD and two picks in Sunday's 17-16 home loss to the Chargers. He missed the previous game due to injury and playing on short rest here won't do him any good.

The Chiefs are perfect 9-0 ATS as a favorite on the road dating back to Nov. 22, 2015. They've won five straight meetings with the Raiders and covered the spread in all but one of those games.

My NFL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Kansas City Chiefs.
