It’s been a month since NFL bettors had Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce rammed down their throats, so ESPN felt it to be high-time to get the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs back on the primetime airwaves for their Week 9 skirmish with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The NFL odds for this week’s installment of Monday Night Football hit the board with the undefeated Chiefs installed 10-point Arrowhead Stadium favorites and the total lined 45.5. If you can believe it, Todd Bowles’ injury-riddled roster has gotten a majority of the interest from the NFL betting public—52% of the bets and 54% of the money forcing a market correction down to 8.5 at Caesars Sportsbook with the Over/Under unchanged regardless of a majority of the handle aligned with the over. Should you have any desire to get involved with Andy Reid’s squad going undefeated in the regular season, Caesars will gladly book your action at 10-1!

Reduced juice betting is one of the best ways for any sports bettor to save money and far too many people don’t take advantage of it. If you are not playing at a sportsbook that offers reduced juice betting then you are simply giving away money.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Kansas City Chiefs NFL Same Game Parlay:

I was extremely bearish of the Bucs entering the 2024-25 NFL betting season. The team had to fight tooth and nail just to win nine games which proved to be good enough to win what ended up being a train wreck of a division. It then took advantage of the injury riddled Philadelphia Eagles before being put out of their misery on the road in Motown. I hardly came away impressed with the job the front office did to improve the roster in the offseason. As such, I had no issues whatsoever hammering the under of their season win total and gladly took a flier on the chalky offering for Tampa to miss out on the playoffs. I came away shocked to see Tampa win three of its first four games. Actually, I was pissed! Thankfully, the tide has turned here recently with the Buccaneers coming up losers in three of their last four. Along the way, the offense lost Chris Godwin for the remainder of the season and will be without Mike Evans at least until Week 11 due to a hamstring injury. In other words, it’s not looking good for the three-time defending NFC South champs.

Say what you will about Patrick Mahomes and Co.—they simply know how to get the job done. And for NFL bettors that’ve backed them on the NFL spread this season, they’ve largely been rewarded with the Chiefs clocking in as one of the best cover teams in the league having accrued a solid 5-2 record against the closing NFL betting lines. While No. 15 has largely failed to live up to his high draft stock in fantasy circles, the former MVP continues to be one of the best game managers in the game. It also doesn’t hurt that he seemingly gets every call. Regardless, the Chiefs are running a balanced attack with it going for 226 passing yards (#11) and 122 rushing yards (#14) per game resulting in the unit hanging an average of 24.7 points on a gamely basis. It’s taken on a next man up mentality with Travis Kelce stepping up in Rashee Rice’s unfortunate demise and Kareem Hunt stepping in for the soon to return Isiah Pacheco.

The most important aspect has however been Steve Spagnuolo’s defense which you can argue has been the steadying force of the franchise and main reason why it’s gunning for a third straight championship. Chris Jones and his mates have been a brick wall against the run in allowing 82 yards per game (#2). While the pass defense has been league average (#17) and it hasn’t forced turnovers like it once did (#19), George Karlaftis and others have put a jolt into the pass rush resulting in consistent pressure and sacks. Tampa’s conceded 2.5 sacks per game, and Baker Mayfield hasn’t been shy about throwing errant passes either evidenced by his nine picks already thrown. I’m not buying Tampa being the 10^th-best rushing team in the league either. A bulk of that ranking was attained in that crazy blowout win over New Orleans. They’re not sniffing 277 yards let alone 75 against Kansas City! If Jalen McMillan, Cade Otton, and Sterling Shepard get them through the air, I tip my hat. I don’t see it happening. What I do foresee is KC’s defense ruling the night, putting the offense in a position to tally a few short field touchdowns, then put the clamps on before milking out a 30-12ish type win. Lay the points. Hit the under. Thank me later.
