St. Louis Rams at Kansas City Chiefs

Austin Davis has been a huge (and pleasant) surprise with how well he’s played for the Rams. On top of that, their pass rush finally came to life against the Seahawks in last week’s upset win. So do I like the Rams to go into Kansas City and knock off my beloved Chiefs? No, no I don’t. The Rams are giving up the sixth highest YPC for opposing rushing attacks and the Chiefs Jamaal Charles and Knile Davis are ready to carry the load for KC. That running attack with a little of Alex Smith passing the ball mixed in should be enough to control this game in Arrowhead Stadium. Chiefs win.
