Insider Edge Sports – Report For Monday, August 23, 2004
St. Louis Rams at Kansas City Chiefs 8:00 PM ET
Over 41 St. Louis/Kansas City –108 (2 Units)
St. Louis wasn’t able to put anything on the scoreboard in their first preseason game last weekend as the offense mustered only 10 points against the Bears. A lot of that was due to the great amount of playing time from the rookies and younger players, which will change for tonight. "That was the biggest opportunity they'll have of all the (preseason) games," Rams coach Mike Martz said. "Playing time, exposure - the whole thing. From this point on, it will be lessened to a great extent." The Chiefs defense, still disjointed at times from the change in coordinators and systems, would like more than the three remaining weeks until the Sept. 12 opener at Denver. The defense still has problems. This overshadows anything else. They allowed 331 total yards last week and that was against a much less open offense than what they will see Monday. “Our defense isn't put together yet,” coach Dick Vermeil said. “I'm confident it will get put together. I just don't know how long (it will take).” It isn’t going to happen this soon however. “The problem is they don't really feel how to play the game yet,” defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. “There's progression in all three position groups. The last phase is to have success. There are a lot of players on this defense that have what it takes athletically and have the right attitude. But we're teaching a new system, so there's a lot of thinking going on out there. We're not always seeing the top end of that athlete yet."
Vermeil said the starting offense will get more action Monday night against the Rams than it did in the preseason opener against the Giants. Specifically, Trent Green and Priest Holmes will play more. Green played three series and looked sharp completing seven of 11 passes for 111 yards and a touchdown against the Giants. The Kansas City offense started right where it left off last season as three quarterbacks combined to pass for 361 yards. It was the most yards through the air by any team in the first week of the preseason. “We will play them a little more,” Vermeil said of the 1st unit. “I have not talked to the staff yet, but my basic thought is to play the first half. I want to rotate guys in who we want to see play with the starters and see them. Or put a No. 2 guy in and take a starter out. That type of thing.” What makes the yardage numbers more impressive is the fact that the top 3 receivers were out. Two of those three will be back tonight as Eddie Kennison and Marc Boerigter return from injury. The Rams yielded only 13 points to Chicago but they did give up 314 total yards, including 145 on the ground at a hefty 5.6 ypc. The Bears killed themselves committing 19 penalties. The opening drive was short-circuited by four penalties and the Bears had been hit for 105 yards by halftime.
This could turn into a mirror image from last preseason when the Rams scored 6 in their opener against Oakland and then hung up 26 against Tampa Bay in their next game. The Chiefs did the same thing, scoring 26 in their second game last year after scoring 6 in their opener as well. Those 6 points scored is the last time Kansas City has put up less than 24 points at home. Both teams went a combined 4-0 over last season in weeks 2 and 3, the two weeks that starters receive the most time on the field. The average score in those games was 52.3 ppg.
We also have 2 winners in MLB action on Monday. First game goes at 7:05 PM ET.

Looking for a reliable, honest and documented winning service this football season? Look no further!
Taking our NFL Insider Power™ Systems, we concluded that combining 5 of our top systems gave us a 2003 winning percentage of 66.4%. The record ended 71-36 and while that is outstanding, it is a lot of games to be playing on a weekly basis. An average of 6.3 games per week to be exact. Playing too many games can be the death of a gambler so we decided to tighten the systems by using a minimum z-rating which in turn would give us less plays overall but would in turn be much stronger.
The results once again are remarkable. Tightening our 5 strongest systems gives us an even better 71.4% winning percentage while playing much less games (67 – less than 4 per week). Decreasing the games lessens the risk but our ROI actually increases by over 16%. The difference in profit ended up being only $100 based on $1100 bets. There were just 3 losing weeks out of 17 total weeks in the regular season.
Regular Systems Run – 71W-36L 66.4%
Investment $117,700 – Return $31,400 = ROI 26.7%
Tightened Systems Run – 50W-17L 74.6%
Investment $73,700 – Return $31,300 = ROI 42.5%
These numbers look way to good to be true so it is possible 2003 was a very “lucky” year for the systems. In order to find out, we went back 4 more years through 1999 and crunched the same Insider Power™ Systems in the tighter version. What did we find? Much of the very same success.
1999 50-20 71.4%
2000 48-23 67.6%
2001 59-15 79.7%
2002 61-20 75.3%
Only in 2000 did we receive a ROI under 30% while the total ROI for the 5-year span was a generous 40.9%!
1999 Investment $77,000 – Return $28,000 = ROI 36.4%
2000 Investment $78,100 – Return $22,700 = ROI 29.1%
2001 Investment $81,400 – Return $42,500 = ROI 52.2%
2002 Investment $89,100 – Return $39,000 = ROI 43.8%
5-year Investment $399,300 – Return $163,500 = ROI 40.9%
We are ecstatic at these findings and the best thing about it is that there are no judgment calls on the games – they either qualify or they don’t. The ones that do qualify will receive many more lookovers based on our other handicapping techniques such as injuries, weather and statistics. The remaining systems come into play when deciding on unit values.
Hopefully we have your attention now. Our Preseason Football Package gets all of these winners through the Super Bowl, which also includes the NFL Preseason, the NCAA Football Season, the remaining MLB Season and the start of the NBA and NCAA Hoops Seasons. All for only $299. Come and join our big group of members that will reap the benefits of these sensational NFL Insider Power™ Systems!!
