    Bucs are a solid team wouldn’t be surprised if they win

    You can't beat the Chiefs with 3 2nd half picks...
    I don't think the Bucs defense, as good as they've been, will be able to bail the team out yet again..

    Chiefs win big.

    I see Chiefs taking a big lead to start. Brady does his magic and comes back, but ultimately KC pulls ahead at the end. I cannot wait for Brady to retire. I am beyond sick of watching him play.

    What magic? He threw 3 picks in second half against the Packers. They won despite him, primarily on the back of their D, ridiculous penalty calls, and bad GB coaching decisions.
    Against the Saints he didn’t even put up a score.

    the Bucs are a solid team, but the “magic” has been their defensive performances.
    It would take a ton of good breaks to slow down KC enough to win though. They can score too easily.

    Looks like you were right so far on this. Not sure how much it really affects the overall action as 80% of the money was on the Chiefs early but a bettor just placed a $2.3 million bet on the Buccaneers. I still imagine it's going to even out a bit more now that the line is over 3 in the way of the Buccaneers.

    I believe that the superior speed and athleticism of the Chiefs offense compared to the Bucs offense will win them this game. Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Pat Mahomes will be running wild and I don't believe that Todd Bowles will have an answer for it.

    I also believe that the Chiefs will be the better prepared and coached team on Defense. I'll take a Steve Spagnuolo coached defense over a Todd Bowles defense any day of the week, and twice on Sundays. Especially against Tom Brady.

    Chiefs to cover + the Over.

    In a strange turn of events it won’t bother me to see Brady win the Super Bowl...but it ain’t happening.

    Chiefs in a 90’s style Super Bowl blowout by 30.

    Mahomes gets clipped in the side of the head by a Tampa depth player early in Q2. Out for the rest of the game while the officiating crew Brady's things up and sportscasters get poetic about the amazing history they are watching.

    Yeah that was always gonna be a given. Tom Brady is that extra 3 inches of penis length they never had. Bill Belichick returned them to bitch status this year.

    While I think KC will win and I am rooting for KC to win, I think many in this thread are downplaying the role that Brady had in the GB win. He was looking really sharp in the first half which enabled them to have the big lead.
    Having that lead enabled them to withstand the picks and GB offense in the second half.

    I think KC will win but I wouldn’t bet a nickel against Brady in the big one, and I would not be surprised if Tampa won.

    Vegas needs the Chiefs to win badly. Which usually means the Chiefs will win

    How so? 80% of the money is on them as of the end of last week. CBS shows William Hill's splits as 61% spread, 58% ML on the Chiefs.

    Vegas is a bunch of Tom Brady fans right now. Other than that book that took the $2.3 million bet on Brady.

    Vegas may want Brady but the NFL probably wants that symbolic passing of the torch from one human cash register to the other.

    80% of the money is on the Chiefs? You sure about that

    Also, regardless of the week of, the books were flooded with Buccaneers bets to win it all before the playoffs started. And that was when it had big boy odds.

    It would be a disaster for the books if Tampa won. But I will say, the expansion of sports betting has wrecked the books in single game examples like this recently before so maybe everything is changing. In the past though, a line up like this would be a lock for the Chiefs

    OMG. It's disturbing how likely that sounds.

    KC needs to light up the scoreboard quickly, forcing the 43 year old shoulder to work OT in the 2nd half....

    I live in Tampa and my family are all Bucs fans. That being said, I am rooting for Brady. I think that this would be a great sports story similiar to Tiger Woods winning the Masters a few years ago. Not quite to that level though.
