5U Bucs +3
Too me it is way to obvious to take KC. They come off a buy and bring it to the Browns going up 19-3 and win with a backup QB in the 2nd half. They then absolutely murder the Bills who were one of the clear favorites to win it all. Now they go against Old Man Brady and a team that probably should not be here if Jared Cook does not fumble that ball in New Orleans. With that all said the line is only -3? I am not taking the bait.
Brady and company have a 1,2 combo at RB in Jones and Fournette that will open up the pass game for Brady. With a well rounded bunch of Receivers who would be #1 on most teams Evans,Godwin,Brown and the emerging Scottie Miller then add Gronk and Brate to the mix it will be a HUGE Task for the KC secondary and i believe they are not up to it. Brady torched the same secondary for 345 yards 3 touchdowns but had 2 terrible Int that cost him the game. Brady is older and wiser and will not turn the ball over in game 2. I expect alot of play action and a 60-40 run attack that will truly expose the weak KC Run D.
Now on containing Mahomes (who in my opinion is this years MVP) and Hill (who is uncoverable) Kelce. The way this will be done is not a secret... Ball control with a BIG Run Game and take advantage of the 2 new Offensive tackles with Suh and JPP to contain Pat. Do this and TB wins, don't do this could get ugly early.
Good Luck to all
