Total: 45.50 | -110.00 Under
Result: Loss
The Buccaneers are coming into this game with a 4-4 record this season and they have been playing in a lot of high scoring games recently. They have seen 49+ points total in their last 5 straight games and their offense has been great in these, but their defense has been awful. They have had to score a lot of points recently since their defense has been allowing a lot, but their offense is going to struggle a lot more in this game. Their offense has scored 26+ points in their last 4 straight games, but their last 2 games they have scored a lot of late points when they were already trailing by a lot and that has padded the score a bit in their last 2. Both of those games were the 2 games they were missing their 2 key pieces in Evans and Godwin as well so they were already struggling to score and needed garbage time just to make the game look more respectable. They are going to feel the loss of those 2 players in this game though as this is one of the better defenses in the league and they are not going to give up points so easily. They also know how to close out games so they will not allow late scores if the Buccaneers are trailing in this game. They are going up against a Chiefs team that is 7-0 this season, but the defense has been the star of the team with their own offense struggling this season. The offense has not scored more than 28 points in any of their 7 games this season and Mahomes has not been playing great either as he has more interceptions this season than he has touchdowns. The defense has been great though, not allowing more than 20 points in each of their last 4 games, averaging 17.6 points allowed per game which ranks 3rd in the NFL this season. They have also been great at stopping the run this season and the Buccaneers do not have a great run game so their offense is going to be very 1-dimensional here as Baker struggles to move the ball with a lack of weapons. The Buccaneers have also been awful on defense recently, but this Chiefs offense has not scored 30 points in a game all season and they will not need to score a lot of points in this game to win it as their defense will do most of the work here. This is going to be a low scoring game that stays under the total.
