74% of National Media Predicts a Chiefs Victory
100% of Chiefs Insiders Predict a Chiefs Victory
Notable Analysts picking Chiefs: Stephen A Smith, Shannon Sharpe, Max Kellerman, Colin Cowherd, Mina Kimes, Matthew Berry, Laura Rutledge, Mike Greenberg, Rex Ryan, Suzy Kolber, Jay Williams, Gregg Rosenthal, Cynthia Frelund, Adam Rank, Steve Mariucci, Albert Breer, Andrew Brandt
Sheil Kapadia, The Athletic- “I think there’s a real chance that Tampa creates disruption with its defensive line and uglies things up. But Mahomes has shown time and again that no lead is safe and that he can operate even when circumstances are less than ideal. Combine that with the possibility of Steve Spagnuolo keeping Brady off-balance with a special defensive game plan, and I like the Chiefs in a competitive game.”
Gregg Rosenthal, NFL Network: “Last QB with the ball wins, just like the last time these two passers faced off in the playoffs. This time, it's Patrick Mahomes in control with the clock winding down.”
Cynthia Frelund, NFL Network: “While the Chiefs' O-line injuries spawn a closer game than the Week 12 matchup, Patrick Mahomes and the game plan exploit mismatches with K.C.'s speed and Tampa Bay's secondary. Plus, a big play at a key time from the Chiefs' defense decides the game.”
80% of Buccaneers Insiders Predict a Buccaneers Victory
Notable Analysts picking Buccaneers: Skip Bayless, Mike Florio, Steve Smith, Willie McGinest, Molly Qerim Rose, Randy Moss, Tedy Bruschi, Connor Orr, Nate Davis, Jarrett Bell, Dan Graziano, Mike Clay, Seth Wickersham, Jason La Canfora
Willie McGinest, NFL Network: “The Buccaneers have played better each week, are peaking at the right time and have already avenged regular-season losses in the postseason. With the personnel to matchup with the Chiefs, the Bucs finish the job Tom Brady set out to achieve when he left New England.”
Steve Smith, NFL Network: “Playing at home is a huge factor in this game, as the limited but Bucs-heavy crowd makes it difficult for the Chiefs all game long.”
Connor Orr, Sports Illustrated: “The game hinges on how well Kansas City’s backup tackles can secure the edge and how, if at all, additional protection in the backfield changes what the Chiefs do well offensively. If Tampa Bay did not have two premium edge rushers in Shaq Barrett and Jason Pierre-Paul, plus some chaos-creating interior defensive tackles, I would probably have gone with the Chiefs in a landslide. However, constant pressure on Mahomes, or at least disallowing him from keeping plays going and getting his receivers free, could be a game-changer here.”
