Week 7 Thursday Night Pick- Can the Raiders Rebound?

Derek Carr needs to play better 
in order for the Raider to come away with a win


Kansas City @ Oakland (+3.5) - After starting the season 2-0, the Raiders have not looked sharp with four consecutive losses against Washington, Denver, Baltimore, and LA Chargers.  That being said, Carr could be due for a bounce back game and could overcome the rust he showed and the Raiders could show desperation to avoid falling out of playoff contention.  Kansas City will also be without their starting center and left guard, which is a big reason why Alex Smith struggled against the Steelers.  Kansas City is not helped by the fact that they are travelling on a short week to the west coast.
