Buccaneers vs. Chiefs Expert Picks

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers attract attention on Monday Night Football in Week 9 for the second time in three weeks, this time in Kansas City. The Buccaneers will attempt to relieve the Chiefs of their status as the NFL’s only undefeated team in 2024 and also extend their winning streak by banning Arrowhead Stadium to three. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. ET on Monday, November 4. To find out how to watch, listen and stream the match live, Click here.

Most analysts favor the Chiefs at home, citing Kansas City’s strong defense against an “undermanned” Buccaneers offense. While the Bucs are fourth in the NFL in scoring and managed to gain 423 yards without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin last week, one expert sees the visitors scoring a touchdown in the game due to the continued absence of those two there. Another analyst sees hope for the Bucs given Baker Mayfield’s strong play against the blitz and in the fourth quarter.

The Buccaneers are 8.5-point underdogs against the defending champions and upset picks for Monday night are few and far between. Some experts at least see the Bucs covering the spread. Here’s what some of them say:
