You have to like how the Chiefs are playing right now. The Bucs have the defense and the edge rushers to cause QB Patrick Mahomes trouble, especially with LT Eric Fisher out with an Achilles tear, but Kansas City has been here before and is playing at a high level. The Chiefs have played with the lead all postseason and did it against the Bucs in the regular season.
The question is whether they can stave off a comeback.
As for the first half, bet the CHIEFS (-150).
