My in-depth, superb analysis of all this says close game. LOL...
Anyhow, I'm going with the Rams winning the battle for yards but the Chiefs winning the game 31-28.
Statistical Estimates:
Rams 429 total yds - 296 pass yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 3 Sacks allowed 133 rush yds, 2 TDs
Chiefs 389 total yds - 269 pass yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT, 2 Sacks allowed 120 rush yds, 1 TDs
