Rivalry History

Prior to 2020, there wasn’t much history between the Chiefs and Bucs. They’d played a total of 12 games, and Tampa Bay led 7-5.

 But during that 2020 regular season, the two NFL teams played a great game, and the final Chiefs at Buccaneers stats featured 90 thrown passes and 960 yards of total offense. The rematch in Super LV was not nearly as dramatic, with Tampa Bay winning 31-9.

Matchup Trends

These two teams are used to being at the top of the NFL Standings. Kansas City has won six consecutive AFC West titles, and Tampa Bay won the NFC South last season. 

And the Chiefs at Buccaneers odds reflect just how good both teams are and how high their expectations reach. Tampa Bay opened as modest 1.5-point favorites, playing at home.

The NFL schedule makers put this game on Sunday night to take advantage of the great NFL matchup and showcase two of the top NFL picks to win the Super Bowl.
