Kansas City Chiefs - NFL Betting Analysis
In week 3, the Kansas City Chiefs dropped their AFC matchup against the Colts by a score of 20-17. With the loss, Kansas City failed to cover the spread, as they had a -4.5 advantage on the spread. The two teams combined point total of 37 remained below the betting line of 51. This was a difficult loss for Kansas City, as they held 4 point lead heading into the 4th quarter. Through 3 games, the Chiefs have an ATS record of 1-2. So far, they have an over-under record of 1-2. This week's betting total of 45.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Chiefs offense is averaging 29.33 points per game, placing them 4th in the NFL. Even though they have a tough matchup against the league's 1st ranked defense, look for Kansas City to continue their strong offensive play. This season, Kansas City has been one of the better passing teams in the league, averaging 281.0 yards per game through the air. Although, the Buccaneers defense have been able to limit opposing teams in the passing game, Kansas City should still be able to continue to generate big plays through the pass. On the ground, Kansas City figure to have their fair share of problems as they come into the game as the 22nd ranked team in rush yards per game. In addition, they are facing defense that has done a good job stopping the run.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL Betting Analysis
Heading into week 3, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Packers by a score of 14-12, giving them a loss against a NFC opponent. Going into the game, the oddsmakers had Buccaneers as the -1.5 favorite. The two teams combined point total of 26 remained below the betting line of 42.

This week's betting total of 45.0 is lower than the line in their previous games.
Heading into this week's matchup, the Buccaneers' offense is averaging 17.0 points per game, placing them 23rd in the NFL. Although the Buccaneers come into the game ranked just 22nd in pass yards per game, they will benefit from facing a Kansas City secondary that is vulnerable through the air. We expect Tampa Bay to have an above average performance in the passing attack. Even though the Buccaneers have had their problems running the ball this year, averaging 86.0 yards per game on the ground, our projections show they could be in line for an above-average game vs Kansas City.
