You'd have to think that if LT2 is healthy enough to play that Sproles splitting carries against a team that gave up only 29 rushing yards (yeah, I know it was the Chiefs last week) won't result in a great stat line.
I don't expect Michael Bush and Darren McFadden to look like Ray Rice and Willis McGahee did last week, but the Chiefs run defense is horrible. With JaMarcus Russell having a hard time getting the ball within 5 yards of a receiver if he's more than 10 yards downfield, the Raiders will HAVE to rely on the running game.
I think I'd start Bush over Sproles even if LT2 is sitting out.
