Tampa Bay beat the Packers fair and square 31-26 in the NFC championship game. Yet, there are plenty of analysts that believe the wrong team won. Green Bay self-destructed on their Frozen Tundra of Lambeau Field. Tampa Bay inexplicably got a late 2nd quarter touchdown because of a Packer breakdown. To show, Tom Brady hit Scotty Miller for a 39-yard TD pass that never should have happened. And then Green Bay stupidly kicked a field goal instead of going for a touchdown late in the game. Thus, it’s the Buccaneers against the Chiefs in Sunday’s Super Bowl betting matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl LV Odds Overview
On this occasion, a lot of gamblers see the Buccaneers as a live offshore bookmaker dog. Tom Brady is the reason. Consider that the GOAT owns six Super Bowl rings. But other handicappers believe Brady is keeping the odds artificially low. These gamblers believe the Chiefs should be more expensive than they are. Patrick Mahomes feeds into that. Most of all, the Chiefs have more firepower than the Buccaneers. Kansas City’s domination of Buffalo in the AFC championship game shows their ability when focused. For this reason, the Chiefs reminded gamblers how dangerous it is to step into them.
Chiefs Toyed with Tampa in First Meeting This Season
On November 29, the Chiefs beat the Buccaneers 27-24 as 3.5-point road favorites. Under the total of 56 paid too. In short, the game was not as close as the final score would indicate. Kansas City took a 27-10 lead into the 4th quarter. And then the Chiefs took their foot off the gas to allow the back door cover. Mahomes threw for 462 yards and three touchdowns. Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill had an insane video game performance. To illustrate, Hill had 13 catches for 269 yards and three touchdowns. Brady was intercepted twice in the defeat. On the whole, KC outgained the Bucs 543 to 417 in total yards. Time of possession went to the Chiefs at 36:47.
Brady is Yesterday While Mahomes is Today
To be exact, Tom Brady is the undeniable GOAT of quarterbacks. On that, there is no argument. Concurrently there is no debate that Patrick Mahomes is today’s best NFL signal-caller.
This season Brady posted a 102.2 rating in the regular season. Subsequently, he threw 40 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions. Brady averaged 7.6 yards per pass. To differentiate, Mahomes had a 108.2 QB rating with 8.1 yards per pass. The Comeback Kid threw 38 touchdown passes with six interceptions.
Extending Mahomes credentials as a Super Bowl Betting Odds asset is his playoff production. Mahomes has a 108.2 QB rating with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He averages 8.5 yards per playoff pass. Counter to that is Brady’s 90.8 QB rating and 7.9 yards per pass in the playoffs. The GOAT has seven touchdown passes with three interceptions this postseason.
