09/04/2010 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Safety DaJuan Morgan was among the most prominent players released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, as the team reduced its roster to the 53-player maximum.

Morgan played in 28 games as a Chief after being selected in the third round out of North Carolina State in 2008, including a pair of starts in the secondary a year ago. But Morgan fell victim to a numbers crunch at safety after the team selected three defensive backs in the 2010 Draft.

Also released were guard Colin Brown, defensive tackle Garrett Brown, defensive lineman Dion Gales, tackle Bobby Greenwood, guard Darryl Harris, linebacker David Herron, defensive tackle Derek Lokey, quarterback Tyler Palko, safety Ricky Price, wide receiver Verran Tucker, linebacker Pierre Walters and running back Javarris Williams.

Additionally, the Chiefs placed defensive back Maurice Leggett (neck) and wide receiver Jerheme Urban (undisclosed) on season-ending injured reserve.

As previously reported, the Chiefs also dealt disgruntled safety Jarrad Page to the New England Patriots in exchange for an undisclosed draft selection.

Page, who was involved in a contract dispute with the Chiefs and did not report to the team in training camp, started 39 games with Kansas City from 2006 through 2009.

On Friday, the team released tight end Leroy Banks, wide receiver Rich Gunnell, offensive lineman Lemuel Jeanpierre, guard Ikechuku Ndukwe, cornerback Mike Richardson, linebacker John Russell and center Dan Santucci.

The Chiefs will begin the 2010 regular season next Monday night, when they play host to the AFC West rival San Diego Chargers.

MySportsbook.com favors Bears, Bengals, Chargers and Colts to remain perfect

LAS VEGAS , Sept. 28 - Two big match-ups of undefeated teams have fans salivating at the Week Four schedule in the NFL. The Chicago Bears stifling defense looks to provide a less than hospitable welcome to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a battle of two 3-0 teams in the NFC conference. In the AFC, the San Diego Chargers (2-0) head to Maryland to face the surprising Baltimore Ravens (3-0) as both try to keep pace atop the conference standings. Betting Lines makers at MySportsbook.com, online sportsbook and casino, have set the Bears as 3.5 point favorites while the Chargers are a 2.5 point bet.

Of the three remaining undefeated teams, only one, New Orleans, enters this week's game as an underdog. Despite an emotional and resounding win over Atlanta on Monday night, the Saints are a 7.5 point underdog against the struggling Carolina Panthers. Indianapolis looks to stay perfect when they face the New York Jets as a 9 point road favorite while the Cincinnati Bengals are a 6 point favorite at home to the New England Patriots.

Six teams enter the week still looking for their first win, with a seventh, Tampa Bay, on a bye week. The prospect of dropping another game would not bode well for a potential playoff run. Since 1990, just three teams -- the 1992 Chargers, 1995 Detroit Lions and 1998 Buffalo Bills -- have overcome losing their first three games of the season to earn a postseason berth. And only the Chargers managed to accomplish the feat after starting 0-4.
