12/24/2006 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Larry Johnson ran for 135 yards and scored a touchdown to lead the Kansas City Chiefs over the Oakland Raiders, 20-9, at McAfee Coliseum.
Trent Green ended 12-of-24 for 148 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Chiefs (8-7), who ended a three-game slide and kept their slim playoff hopes alive.
Justin Fargas ran for 90 yards and Andrew Walter threw for 226 yards for Oakland (2-13), which has lost eight straight games in a single season for the first time in 34 years. Walter, however, also threw two picks and committed four turnovers, as the Raiders' horrid season continues.
The last time the Raiders dropped eight straight in a single season was in 1962 when the club lost 12 in a row to end that year 1-12. Oakland also went winless in the division for a second straight year with this setback. The Raiders' last win against an AFC West foe was on November 28, 2004 at San Diego.
The Raiders started out strong, scoring in the first quarter when Sebastian Janikowski capped a 57-yard, nine-play drive with a 25-yard field goal.
That, however, was the only time the Raiders would lead in the game as Kansas City took its ensuing possession in for a score. Green ended an 11-play, 60- yard march with a six-yard pass to Eddie Kennison for a 7-3 lead. The key play of the drive was a 4th-and-eight 24-yard completion from Green to Samie Parker. The Chiefs also converted a pair of third downs on the drive, including the touchdown play.
Lawrence Tynes later increased the Chiefs' lead to 10-3 when he converted a 29-yard field goal. The possession started after Walter lost a fumble at the Oakland 48-yard line.
The Raiders cut the deficit to 10-6 early in the second quarter when Janikowski nailed a 37-yard field goal, but that would be as close as Oakland would get the rest of the way.
Later in the quarter, after Walter lost his second fumble of the contest, Johnson ended a short five-play drive with a one-yard TD run for a 17-6 halftime advantage. The score came with just 40 seconds left in the stanza.
The second half went by with very little excitement. Janikowski kicked a 53- yard field goal at the 8:49 mark of the third quarter and Tynes answered with a 28-yarder with 1:20 gone in the fourth.
Ronald Curry had 106 yards on 11 catches for the Raiders.
Game Notes
Oakland's troubled wide receiver tandem of Randy Moss and Jerry Porter were both inactive...Raiders QB Aaron Brooks missed the game with a stinger...Johnson has scored the Chiefs' last 30 rushing TDs, an NFL record...Kennison ended with the one catch. He also had a rush for five yards...Tony Gonzalez remains one TD catch shy of tying Shannon Sharpe (62) for the all-time lead for a tight end. Gonzalez finished with a team leading 67 yards on five catches..The Chiefs ended with four sacks.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.
NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.
Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.
Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.
Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
