Some have said that KC has squeaked through when they won and won convingly only against weaker teams. Oakland on the other hand has won at home and lost by slim margins other times.
I believe in spite of these outlooks that KC is just a better team. Priest Holmes will be able to run on Oakland's weak run defense.
I believe the line is set at -3.5/+3.5 (or close to that) because the books know that the Raider nation will look at the line and see that their beloved Raiders are getting points at home and bet the Raiders big. That will get action on the losing team resulting in a good night for the books when KC wins.
