Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season concludes tonight with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football. The Buccaneers’ offense is still lighting it up, averaging what seems to be 30 points per game. The problem? Their defense can’t stop anyone, allowing what seems to be 35+ points each week.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, are the league’s lone undefeated team at 7-0. It’s hard to bet against Patrick Mahomes in any given week, but it’s especially hard knowing he should be able to slice through the Buccaneers’ defense.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Chiefs are 9.5 point favorites against the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay’s chances seem to hinge on them winning a shootout, but I think they’ll fall behind trying to play catch up too much, and won’t even cover. Chiefs 42, Buccaneers 20.
