Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs

10 games into the season and the stats at this time cannot lie. The Oakland Raiders would have trouble stopping a granny running against them, they are averaging allowing teams to rush for 152 yards against them but even more eye -catching they have allowed 16 rushing touchdowns in 10 games which is a league worst.

With Larry Johnson stuck on the sidelines with what could be a season ending injury in came Priest Holmes only to re-injure his neck which could end the nfl career of a great running back.

Kansas City are down to the bare bones and will now look at rookie Kolby Jones to carry the load. With a not so mighty 10 carries for 19 yards in his rookie year so far and a dissapointing pre-season Kolby has not exactly set the league alight. However this is his one big chance to prove himself and many is the time a star running back has been born as a result of injuries.

Clearly with him being something of an unknown you cannot go nuts with your staking but also with the Raiders shambolic run defense this has to be a bet worth taking.

Back Kolby Smith to score a touchdown at any time during the game at odds of 2.1 with Bet365. The raw stats alone suggest the 1.5 Paddy Power have is about right as its highly likely one of the Chiefs will score a rushing touchdown and everything points to Smith.
