Chiefs vs Buccaneers: MNF Predictions

Welcome to Week 9 of Monday Night Football! This week, the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will host Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

We'll be breaking down the game preview, our Rithmm model for this matchup, and my prediction for this game, so let's get into our Chiefs vs Buccaneers MNF Predictions for Week 9.

Chiefs vs Buccaneers MNF Preview

We keep doubting the Chiefs, yet they're 7-0 and showing no signs of stopping down. We've seen their defensive dominance show up in the last couple of playoff seasons, but this is really the first time that they're doing it during the regular season, with Patrick Mahomes kind of just doing the minimum of what's needed and still coming out on top.

On the other side, has any QB done more with less (or just more in general) this season than Baker Mayfield? He's pacing for career highs in nearly very category right now, leading the leading in touchdown passes despite not playig this week's game yet.

That feeds right into my Rithmm custom sports betting model that I built for this game.

MNF Game Prediction for Buccaneers @ Chiefs

Pick: Over 45.5 Points (-110)

Win Probability: 55.7%

DTM: 6.4%

There is a pretty simple thesis here behind an over: The Chiefs possess the offense and quarterback needed to hang 25+ on the Buccaneers, while the Buccaneers and Baker have been able to almost put points up at will on teams.

I mostly agree with this. The Chiefs' addition of DeAndre Hopkins to the receiving corps should help massively to move the ball downfield and Mayfield has not sipped a beat despite losing Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Let's roll.
