Tampa Bay beat Kansas City in preseason Week 2 action last year 15-10. Now the Chiefs will play host and FOX will carry Friday’s game live from Arrowhead Stadium with kickoff set at 8:00 ET on August 12th. Both quarterbacks Matt Cassell and Josh Freeman are entrenched as the teams’ starters, but the battles for the #3 spot will play out for viewers in the second half and determine who wins this game and covers the closing NFLX lines.

The Chiefs opened as a small favorite and now the Bucs are a three-point road favorite on the NFLX lines. Tampa Bay is getting some early steam following their surprising season last year as they went 10-6 SU. The Bucs offense should be even stronger this season and QB Josh Freeman along with a talented trio of wide receivers give the Bucs a solid shot to surpass last year’s 341 points scored. But in this contest, Freeman will play perhaps a few series and then Josh Johnson will take over followed by Rudy Carpenter and Jonathan Crompton; both of whom the coaches want to take a long look at for the #3 QB position at this time.

Kansas City’s offensive line returns four starters from last year’s team, and while Pro-Bowl guard Brian Waters was released, the Chiefs replaced him with highly regarded Jon Asamoah. The Chiefs will be a running team first as Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles now run behind new fullback Le’Ron McClain. While limited action is expected from the starters, Kansas City’s running game and continuity along the offensive line should provide for some solid running game results against the Bucs defense.

The Chiefs seem to be caught somewhere between revamping and reloading as they enter the 2011 season. Kansas City surprised most prognosticators last season after going 10-6 SU and winning the AFC West division. The Chiefs were just 1-3 SU and 0-3-1 ATS on the NFLX lines during the preseason a year ago.

Kansas City coach Todd Haley and other NFL coaches are preparing on the fly as the teams alter their practice plans and past preseason traditions following the lengthy lockout. Players are forced to react more quickly to the coaches preparation plans and changes. Haley continues to juggle the intensity of his training camp practices and maintains his emphasis on conditioning due to the varied levels his players have shown him in their conditioning. The group of 18 free agents that were not allowed to practice until August 4 is significantly behind the players that had spent a week in camp.

However, Kansas City may show more aggressiveness on defense following last year’s struggles in their pass rush and show more blitzes in their preseason opener. Playing at home in an NFLX lines underdog role against a Bucs team that beat them last year may be all the motivation the defense and team needs to snag the outright victory Friday night.
