St. Louis Rams vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The third week of the NFL preseason is set to go Friday night from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City where the Chiefs will look to secure their second outright and first ATS cover of the Todd Haley regime in the exhibition season against the St. Louis Rams; kick-off is set for 8:00 ET.
After looking like rock ‘n’ roll stars against a disinterested bunch of Colts in their first preseason tune-up, the Rams looked rather pedestrian in their follow up last week at home against the Tennessee Titans. Sure, QB Sam Bradford’s first pass of the game went for an 83-yard TD pass to WR Brandon Gibson, but the offense only mustered 200 yards and 10 points the rest of the way with the final three coming at the last second to win the game. On top of that, HC Steve Spagnuolo’s defense left much to be desired as it allowed the Titans to combine for 347 yards (198 on the ground) and only managed to secure one QB sack.
Chiefs HC Todd Haley isn’t one to care much about the preseason. He looks to be cut from the same cut as the Indianapolis Colts, as Kansas City is now just 1-9 SU & 0-10 ATS since he took over the franchise‘s reigns. After getting whitewashed at home by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which was nothing more than a dress rehearsal for the Chiefs, KC went into Baltimore and took the Ravens best punches for the first 52+ minutes of the game; then all hell broke loose and KC choked away the cover. The QB trio of Matt Cassel, Tyler Palko and Ricky Stanzi combined to throw for 194 yards, but the staple of the Chiefs attack, the running game, churned out less than 100 yards for the second time this preseason.
This is “dress rehearsal” week, so expect both squads to keep their starters in well into the 3rd quarter if not longer. These teams last met in the exhibition season back in 2009 when the Rams scored the 17-9 home win and cover as one-point home chalks. St. Louis is 7-3 ATS its L/10 preseason tussles winning and covering each of its L/4 as visitors. Kansas City has failed to win or cover each of its L/7 as NFLX underdogs.
PICK: St. Louis / KC UNDERComment

Derek Wynne's Full Force Friday
For all your NFL picks and inside information

I have been featured on the sites Pride Side Investments and Sports America Sports Service, am handicapping independently this year and will bring you the easy money when it comes to NFL:
1. Rams -2 over Chiefs:
One of the least talked about teams of the NFL preseason have been the St Louis Rams. Although I do not expect great things from them this season, I do expect them to be the sleeper tonight and take it to the Chiefs. There has been many on and off the field issues with the Chiefs this week...from Thomas Jones laying out one of his own players, despite them denying this, to Todd Haley catching a Lil Wayne concert Monday night and to Cassel simply not performing, the Chiefs are in some trouble. Tonight, they will not be mentally ready or prepared for this game and the Rams will be.
After having their backups come in and win the game for them against the Titans, Spagnulo has been running a boot camp all week long. This is a serious preseason game for them, meaning easy money for you and I.
