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.
