Last week the Chiefs looked like a team that spent too much time consuming its media. Kansas City turned in a terrible performance at Indianapolis. The Colts scored an NFL betting odds upset that was gift-wrapped by an avalanche of Kansas City mistakes. In a similar way, the Buccaneers struggled to get jumpstarted in a loss to the Packers. It is true that Tom Brady came out of a brief retirement to lead the Buc. But Brady is not yet in form. So far, the Bucs are being carried by one of the top defenses in the NFL.

Kansas City Chiefs Team Overview
Last game, the Kansas City Chiefs lost 20-17 against the Indianapolis Colts as 4.5-point 50.5. The game went under the total of 50.5. Kansas City has a record of 2-1 straight up, 1-2 against the spread, and 1-2 over/under the total. Naturally, the Chiefs rank among the NFL’s best at 4th in scoring offense.
Indianapolis trailed by four points with just over eight minutes remaining in the game. In turn, Colts’ quarterback Matt Ryan led a 16-play, 76-yard drive. Ryan threw a go-ahead, 12-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jelani Woods. However, Indianapolis’ game-winning drive nearly ended at midfield.
Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton sacked Ryan on third down with just under five minutes left. Thus, the Colts were set to punt following the sack. But the officials assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on defensive lineman Chris Jones. Hence the flat continued the possession. The penalty was one of several out-of-character miscues that contributed to the Chiefs’ defeat on Sunday.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Team Overview
Last game, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost 14-12 against the Green Bay Packers as 1-point home favorites. The game went under the total of 42.5. Tampa Bay has a record of 2-1 straight up, 2-1 against the spread, and 0-3 over/under the total. Of major concern is that Tampa Bay ranks 27th for total offense and 22nd for scoring. However, the Bucs rank 4th for total defense and best for points allowed. The Bucs lead the NFL in takeaways.
Tom Brady engineered a trademark 13-play, 89-yard touchdown drive at the end of regulation on Sunday. But the Buccaneers lost to the Packers after an unsuccessful two-point conversion attempt. Brady was sharp for the Buccaneers. To show, he completed his first 12 passes. In sum, Brady hit on 31 of 42 throws for 271 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Also, he was 10 of 13 on the game’s final drive.
However, a lack of big plays in the absence of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, and Donovan Smith factored in. Also, the Bucs often saw drives clipped by penalties, missed third downs (two of 11 on the day), and turnovers.
