The Atlanta Falcons are expected to cut Kirk Cousins from their roster. In addition, they will finalize the move before March 17, which is the due date for Cousins’ $10 million roster bonus. According to NFL betting tutorials and news sites, the split between the Falcons and Cousins is inevitable.

Observant front-office officials have noted that Cousins now has all the leverage because of the no-trade clause in his contract. Nobody thinks he'll be much help to the Falcons, who shocked him on draft night by taking Michael Penix Jr., another quarterback, in the first round and benched him this week to start the rookie.

The Falcons are expected to release Kirk Cousins before his $10 million roster bonus for the 2026 season, due on March 17, because there is a league-wide belief that they cannot transfer him. After shelling out $90 million for 14 games, the Falcons have no business bearing any more expenses related to their quarterback.

Tonight, we have an exciting Monday Night NFL matchup, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs. There is no doubt that the Buccaneers are the underdog in this matchup. However, this is football and anything can happen. Therefore, can Tampa Bay win despite being the visiting team and less talent? Here is what experts have to say with our Buccaneers vs Chiefs NFL Betting Pick and analysis for tonight’s game.

The Chiefs (7-0) continue to pursue their quest for a perfect season. Kansas City stands as the sole undefeated team in the NFL and commenced Week 9 as one of only two teams with fewer than two losses recorded. Thus, for this matchup, the Chiefs are a huge favorite with bookies having them at a -430 money line.

On the other hand, the Buccaneers, with a 4-4 record are ranking towards the lower end of the NFL Rankings. Furthermore, in terms of total defense, they are at their worst allowing an average of 26.6 points per game. Sportsbooks software have them as a +340 underdog on the money line. While these odds are tempting, gamblers will need a miracle to win a straight up bet on them.

Although the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl title four years prior, the current team bears little resemblance to them. Baker Mayfield has taken over the quarterback position from Tom Brady and has significantly rejuvenated his career. Nevertheless, he faces numerous uncertainties at present, as both of his leading receivers are sidelined due to long-term injuries.

The National Football League will allow players to wear Guardian Caps in the upcoming regular season. This is the first time the league has allowed players to do so. The league made it mandatory for specific positions to wear it during the 2022 preseason, expanding the utilization of the protective gear.

Wrapping a standard helmet with the cushioned, soft-shell Guardian Cap absorbs contact and reduces the impact of hard crashes and the likelihood of concussions. Upon their introduction in 2022, the NFL claimed that players wearing the Guardian Caps might mitigate the effects of head collisions by 10%. According to bookie pay per head experts, twenty percent is a reasonable estimate if every player used them.

The 2022 and 2023 seasons had almost the same number of player concussions: 213 in the former and six more in the latter. The number of concussions has been decreasing since 2018. According to the NFL, approximately 1.6 concussion examinations were performed per game in 2023. A concussion diagnosis was made approximately once every three to four assessments.

For tonight’s NFL Monday Night football matchup, the Buffalo Bills are taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Despite not having the home advantage, can the Jaguars pull off an upset and defeat the Buffalo on their home turf? Find out by reading my Jaguars vs Bills NFL Betting Pick and analysis for tonight’s football game.

Sportsbooks and bookies are clearly favoring Buffalo with a -250 Money Line. While it might seem like a steep line in their favor for Week 3, it may be with a good reason. The Jaguars have experienced a disappointing start to the season with an 0-2 record. Furthermore, they are averaging a mere 15 points per game.

 In their most recent match on Sunday, Jacksonville found themselves down by ten points at halftime and failed to capitalize on 13 penalties committed by Cleveland, resulting in an 18-13 defeat at home. Trevor Lawrence's performance has not met expectations, leading to a struggling offense for the team.

On the other hand, the Bills currently hold a 2-0 record, largely due to an impressive performance from Josh Allen, who is exhibiting qualities reminiscent of an MVP. In their recent game against Miami, James Cook was instrumental, scoring three touchdowns in the first half.
