Bay area is a larger market so they will be talked up somewhat more than the small market Chiefs IMO. The only way we will get talked about is when we actually start putting up W's against larger market teams...

Yeah, it bugs me too. Not sure it's still the same, but as of this morning Yahoo Sports had Oakland favored over the Chiefs...I was a bit shocked, to say the least...& irritated. There were errors against the Ravens no doubt, but I thought we played well, all negative factors considered.
ESPN insider, scout inc had Chiefs picked to win 21-17.
I know the Chiefs will win Sunday! First home game of the season, RAIDERS, D is looking better, RAIDERS, Russell is just plain bad, and it's the HATED RAIDERS.!
I could care less what the "experts" have to say. Talking heads who get paid to hear themselves talk.
Ravens put up 38 points and over 500 yards with 40 min. of possession.
The Chiefs offense basically put up 10 points (I'm giving the 2nd TD to the the interception) only 20 minutes of possession and for the most part were just shut down.
The Chiefs got 2 scores basically on special teams and defense to keep it close. If you think the Chiefs can rely on 14 points not generated by their offense every week, just to stay close for most of the game (and still lose by 14) then well...you're being foolish. Eight out of 10 times, the Ravens win by 15 or more points against the Chiefs and it's not close at all.
They made a couple plays to stay close, and that's commendable, but really the Chiefs were greatly outmatched. The Raiders on the other hand more than held there own, and probably should have won. That is why people give props more to the Raiders than the Chiefs.
The interception was great, but the 7 still belongs to the Offense, because they had to punch it in from where DJ went out. If the offense scored- the offense scored; why take it away from them just because they got good field position from a return?
I'm not drinking the Chris and Cowboy Kool-Aid. I think we're winning this one.
