Picking Kareem Hunt to score wouldn't be a bad choice. After all, he's averaging 77 rushing yards per game with the Chiefs and the Bucs’ defense has allowed seven total touchdowns to running backs this season. However, I want to focus on the most consistent player in the Chiefs offense and that is TE Travis Kelce.
Kelce enters this game with one touchdown shy of passing Tony Gonzalez for the most receiving touchdowns in franchise history. You know there will be a heavy focus on getting him the football but especially in the red zone.
Looking at the Bucs’ defense, they've been more than generous to tight ends this season. Since Week 4, they've allowed 33 receptions for 458 yards and four touchdowns to tight ends. Over the last two weeks, they've allowed 12 receptions on 15 targets for 176 yards and four touchdowns.
Overall, the Bucs have the 3rd-worst pass defense in the NFL by allowing 255.4 passing yards per game and they're tied for the 5th most passing touchdowns allowed with 15 touchdowns this season. This bodes well for Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the rest of Kansas City’s offense.
Last week against the Raiders, Kelce scored his first touchdown of the season. He finished with 10 receptions on 12 targets for 90 yards. The touchdown was long overdue but I don't see him slowing down this week. He leads the team with 38 receptions for 335 yards and a touchdown. Over the last four weeks, he's recorded 30 receptions and has been the primary focus in the passing game. That shouldn't change tonight with such a favorable matchup.
Lastly, the Bucs started the season 3-1 but have gone 1-3 since their hot start and seem to be cooling off. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Chiefs have spent four out of the last five weeks on the road so you know they're itching to get back to Arrowhead. Kansas City won't just look to win this game, they'll look to set records with Travis Kelce in the process. Take him to score and the Chiefs to win.
