Chiefs to part ways with Crennel, Pioli at season’s end

The Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly parting ways with head coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli at season’s end.

According to Nick Wright of 610 Houston, a "more than reliable source" said the pair would not be back next year. Wright posted this info on his Twitter account, which was later picked up by other media sources.

Crennel has taken a lot of heat during Kansas City’s 2-12 season and has been rumored to be on the chopping block for a while. Crennel was applauded for the way he managed the team following the murder/suicide committed by LB Jovan Belcher, who took his own life in front of both Crennel and Pioli on Dec. 1.

The Chiefs are at home to the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. Oddsmakers opened Kansas City as a 6-point home underdog. That has since been bet up as high as a touchdown.

The Chiefs have lost back-to-back games SU and ATS since an emotional win over the Carolina Panthers the day after Belcher’s death. They are just 5-9 ATS on the year.

Sunday’s total is set at 41.5 points.

MLB: Milwaukee vs. St. Louis
Pick:
St. Louis
Start:
May 18, 2013 - 7:15 PM
Capper:
Will Rogers
Offered at:
5dimes @ -170 St. Louis
Analysis:

I've cashed the Cardinals multiple times earlier in the week as a free play winner and think Saturday happens to be a good time to jump on them again as they host the Milwaukee Brewers. They took Friday's opener, 7-6, which was their 13th win in 16 games.  Milwaukee is going the other way right now, losing 13 of 15.  This series appears to be a big mismatch.  St. Louis is now 7-1 vs. Milwaukee this year.

Here are my keys to the game:

1.  Lance Lynn - I have to start here. He's 6-1 in his eight starts with a 2.88 ERA.  At home, he's 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA. Since his 1st start of the year, he's allowed more than three runs only one time.  Needless to say, I don't think Brewers starter Marco Estrada will be much match for him. Estrada has an 8.22 ERA his last three starts, though he did win his last.

2.  Hitting woes - The bottom four hitters in Milwaukee's lineup showed why they are hitting higher in the order Friday night, going a combined 0 for 15 Friday.  Heading into yesterday, the Brewers were averaging just 3.3 runs per game on the road.

3. X-Factor - The Cardinals seem to have solved their previous bullpen woes somewhat with Edward Mujica having saved all 12 games in 12 opportunities. 

Selection: The play is on the St. Louis Cardinals (1*).
