Oh boy is this gonna be an interesting game. Two teams that are usually favorites to reach the Super Bowl. The Bucs and the Chiefs it really doesn’t get much better than this. Brady vs Mahomes. This will be the sixth time the two quarterbacks are playing against each other Brady holds the edge 3-2 including Super Bowl 55 which saw the Bucs beat the Chiefs 31-9.
Let’s dive headfirst with the visitors in the Kansas City Chiefs. They’re coming off an ugly loss at Indianapolis 20-17. Patrick Mahomes was 20/35 for 262 yards. He had one touchdown and one interception. Through three games Mahomes has thrown for eight touchdowns and just one interception. With Tyreek Hill now in Miami, Travis Kelce has become the go-to guy for Mahomes. Kelce through three games has 17 receptions for 230 yards and two touchdowns. With Kicker Harrison Butker out, Matt Ammendola missed a field goal and an extra point in the loss.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They’re coming off a loss at home against Green Bay 14-12. Tom Brady was 31/42 for 271 yards and a touchdown. The Bucs were down their top three receivers in the loss with Julio Jones and Chris Godwin both injured and Mike Evans serving a one game suspension due to a fight in the game against the Saints. Through three games the Bucs are averaging 17.0 points per game. The Bucs defense has been great to start the season. Devin White has three of the team’s 11 sacks, Jamel Dean has two of the team’s five interceptions. Plus the defense hasn’t given up more than 14 points in a game yet.
Both teams this week are looking to bounce back after ugly losses. I feel that Mahomes will be the better quarterback this weekend.
My prediction is Chiefs 35- Buccaneers 10
