The biggest thing that stands out in this one is that the Rams have struggled to stop the run and the Chiefs run the ball very well.  That should be Kansas City’s focus this week, to pound the ball on the ground, eat up the clock, and slowly bury the Rams.  St. Louis also allowed Russell Wilson to torch them on the ground last week, and don’t think for one second that Alex Smith wasn’t paying attention.  Smith has some wheels and will look to use them against a team that has obviously struggled to prevent QB’s from running the ball.

Despite the Rams huge win at home last week against the Seahawks, they are really stepping into a tough matchup in this one.  Kansas City is the better team in this game and they always have an excellent commitment from their fans at home.  The Chiefs really need this win to stay in the hunt against the Broncos and Chargers, and they will not take this Rams team lightly.  If the Rams can’t find a way to slow down Charles and the Chiefs on the ground, it will be a long one for the Rams this week.

CHIEFS 27 – RAMS 16

FANTASY BEAST – JAMAAL CHARLES
