On Sunday, February 7th, we've got the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hosting the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa. The Chiefs land 3 and 1/2 on the road here, and the total is at 56 and 1/2. We're here to give you our best bets for the game, guys. Let's start with you, Matt Gothard.
MATT GOTHARD: Well my best bet will have nothing to do with one of these teams. The Tampa Bay Bucs have burned me all year long. If I bet on them, they lose. If I bet against them, they win. So, I'm taking them out, and I'm going to take the Kansas City Chiefs over 30 and 1/2 points minus 105 here.
I think Patrick Mahomes gets the job done here. They looked really, really convincing in their match-up earlier this year. They scored 20 points in the first half, and then kind of let up off the gas. So I like the Chiefs in this one. And then if Tom Brady wants to do some magic stuff at the end, it's not going to impact me. I do have some futures on the Bucs. So, either way, I'll be happy. I just need it to be a high scoring game for the Chiefs.
MINTY BETS: All righty. Jared, what's your pick?
JARED QUAY: Chiefs in a blow out. No, no, no. I'm joking. I'm joking. No. I think I like the over here on the game total. The Chiefs are going to have to throw a ball a lot because the Buccaneers' run stop defense is no joke. But the good thing about that is the Chiefs are really good at throwing the football.
And I think Tom Brady is the kind of quarterback that always tries to make it competitive. So I swear, if there's two minutes left, there might be 16 points getting put on the board. I still think the Chiefs win this one and cover. But I like the over 56 and 1/2 is my best bet. These are offensive driven. If Tom Brady throws interception, only leads to more points. So give me that over!
MINTY BETS: All right. As much as I do believe that there is so much value here with the Bucs getting points at home, I cannot not bet on the Chiefs. I really like the Chiefs here. A passing offense edge goes to the Chiefs. Passing defense, slight edge goes to the Chiefs. I have to bet on Patrick Mahomes, who just won a ring. He's a young, mobile quarterback, and he's hot right now. I don't want to bet against Andy Reid. So, I like the Chiefs minus 3 and 1/2 here.
MATT GOTHARD: The real question, Minty, though. Is the coin flip going to be heads or tails?
MINTY BETS: We'll have to find out.
JARED QUAY: Tails never fails.
