Week nine wraps up tonight with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are the lone undefeated team in the NFL. What is the most impressive about them so far is that they have been doing it without Patrick Mahomes being Superman. Their defense has been dominant so far.
The Bucs are 9.5-point underdogs tonight at FanDuel Sportsbook. That’s a big number. Give me the Buccaneers to cover but the Chiefs to win. 9.5 is just a huge number in the NFL. Baker Mayfield is playing the best football of his career. He will be without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin tonight, but he can still play well enough here to keep this game close.
The total is 45.5. I lean under on that, but I don’t really have a strong feeling there.
Here’s my discussion question for you tonight, how many catches will DeAndre Hopkins have? He had 3 for 29 last week in his first game with the Chiefs. I think he gets 5 to 6 catches tonight. What say you?
