Rams' preseason opponents announced

The Rams will open the 2014 preseason at home against the Saints sometime between August 7th and 11th. (I'll guess the 10th.) They're also at home for the second week of preseason before going on the road for the last two games. The schedule:

August 7-11     New Orleans

August 14-18   Green Bay

August 21-25   @ Cleveland

August 28-29   @ Miami

Closing the preseason with two road games makes me wonder if the Rams get to open the regular season at home. If they are, I'll guess the Vikings or Raiders as the opening week guests. Denver @ Seattle is probably the league Thursday night opener. 49ers should be home the first week to open their new stadium. Arizona opened here last year, doesn't seem fair to make them do it again. And the league will prefer more marquee week 1 matchups for the Cowboys and Giants.

It's been noted there's no Governor's Cup for the second straight preseason, but it'll be on the line when the Rams play in Arrowhead in the regular season. It wasn't held in Kansas City last year because of some conflict with the Royals, so let's charge the Chiefs for a loss for that one.
