3 Units St. Louis Rams -1.5
The Kansas City Chiefs return to Arrowhead Stadium to host cross-state rival St. Louis Rams on Friday, in a Governors Cup match up. Kansas City stands 0-2 in the preseason while St. Louis has a 2-0 ledger. The 2010 season marked a turning point for the Chiefs franchise as Head Coach Todd Haleys squad turned in a 10-6 record after a 4-12 performance in 2009. It marked the best single-season turnaround in franchise history. The Chiefs won the AFC West Championship and earned a home playoff game for the first time since 2003. St. Louis ended the 2010 season with a 7-9 mark, staying in playoff contention until the last weekend of the regular season. The Rams played at Seattle in the final game of the season with the winner advancing to the playoffs. Seattle pulled out a 16-6 victory over the Rams to win the NFC West. The Rams are 12-8 in preseason action against the Chiefs. Since the Rams relocation to St. Louis, the two clubs have squared off 11 times in preseason play. The most recent preseason meeting between the two teams resulted in a 17-9 Rams win at the Edward Jones Dome (9/3/09). Kansas City's last preseason win against the Rams was a 21-17 decision at Arrowhead (8/28/08). The Rams hold a 16-14 edge in all games between these two teams. However, recent preseason trends show Haley could care less about exhibition games. Chiefs 1-10 SU, 0-11 ATS. Kansas City is 3-19 ATS against the NFC at home. Especially with Haley's success in the regular season last year, he has absolutely nothing to prove here. Spagnuolo on the other hand is 8-2 SU in the preseason, with a perfect 5-0 ATS road mark. The line open at St. Louis -1, but I can assure you this number will continue to rise before kickoff. We love the Rams in this spot. St. Louis 23 Kansas City 10

Indianapolis Colts +9
We all know how bad the Colts are in the preseason and now there is talk of Payton Manning not being ready to start the season. I look more at the Packers in this game rather than the Colts, however. Green Bay was hit so hard with injuries last year that they are going to be very careful on this playing surface tonight. Aaron Rodgers was injured on a similar surface in Detroit late in the year and will want to avoid any injuries. The Colts have a small but quick defense that can match up against the Packers. I expect a low scoring game as well. Take the Colts.
St. Louis Rams -1
Arrowhead is one of the toughest places to play for visiting teams, but the Chiefs have no depth at quarterback and not many quality receivers. St. Louis has a host of playmakers on offense and should simply outscore the Chiefs tonight. Take the Rams.
Cleveland Indians -156
The Indians are starting to get to the point of no return when it comes to making the playoffs. They need to beat bad teams like the Royals and there is no excuses with not many games left. Ubaldo Jimenez has struggled this year, but I think, against the lack of competition, should pitch well enough tonight to get himself and his team back on track. Take Cleveland.
