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.

Buccaneers vs Chiefs NFL Betting Prediction an Analysis

Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield excelled against the Atlanta secondary, amassing 330 passing yards and three touchdowns. Last week, he threw for 330 yards and three TDs in his first full game without Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle), but he'll miss his top two receivers a lot more in this matchup.

His desperate attempt at a Hail Mary on the game's final play was successful in terms of reception, but the receiver was just short of the end zone. Tight end Cade Otton had an impressive performance, securing nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

The Kansas City Chiefs remain the only undefeated team in the NFL, aiming for their third consecutive Super Bowl championship. With a record of 7-0, the Chiefs are ranked fifth in the league for total defense, conceding an average of 17.6 points per game. In their recent matchup, Kansas City held Las Vegas to 228 total yards, securing a 27-20 victory on the road.

Kansas City opened the scoring just five minutes into the game with a one-yard touchdown run by Kareem Hunt. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected on touchdown passes to Travis Kelce and rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Kelce led all receivers with ten catches for a game-high 90 yards..
