    Its almost too easy...Buccs at Chiefs
    Ok not much handicapping too this, I simply dont see how the Chiefs can score on the Bucs, they did ok against the Jets but the Buccs play actual defense, and if you think Thigpen is for real- well you are dumb. Expect the Bucs to crush Thigpen and the Chiefs with 3 and outs all day long Pick up the Bucs defense in your fantasy league it will be turnover and sack cityyyy! They won't be able to run on the Buccs, I honestly dont see how they score any points. Now to the anemic Buccaneers offense: well the best medicine for a bad offense is to play the Chiefs. Any decent running game will be made to look like one of the greats against the Chiefs. Graham and Dunn should both have plenty of yards per carry and if the Buccs want to mix in a pass or two they can but the Chiefs are ranked LAST against the run so my question is why throw at all? Expect the Buccs to run at will and then throw at will too once the run is established.

    Bucs -8.5 for an easy cover here coming off the loss to the 'Boys.

    This looks like it will be a close game 20-14 Tampa bay has an edge.

      Seems too obvious, but Bucs are easy choice here. Not to mention that they have bye week next week, so that combined with coming off of disappointing loss should keep them extra focused.

        My only concern with Tampa is Dunn's status. It was clear they were not as effective on the ground versus Dallas. While KC's stats say otherwise, I think they're a bit tougher to run on than anything else (if you wanted to give KC credit for anything).

        I do think KC's front 4 vs the run is comparable to Dallas, though - maybe a touch worse (remember - versus the run, the 4 guys - not run defense!). Dorsey is really developing slow for KC and he's not doing anything to stuff the run, making homerun rushes up the gut something that happens all too often.

        I am going to wait on Dunn's status - he really has been the difference maker in their ground attack... And if their ground attack is what it can be, they can limit KC's possesions and rack up enough for an easy cover/win.

            I concur....as bad as the Chiefs are, they have played a few teams tough this year.

                KC only started to show life as of last week on the road. This will be a home game for the Chiefs. Look out for all of them points on a team that doesn't usually score that many points and on the road to boot.

                  Yea if the chiefs cant stop the run its over, sets up playaction and the bucs play nice defense. I think with that big of a spread you gotta wonder how much the crowd noise is gonna affect the bucs, some false starts that might kill drives and all of a sudden its very realistic for the chiefs to cover
