Week 9 of the NFL season ends with a Monday Night game between the still undefeated Kansas City Chiefs and the middling Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

All seven of Kansas City’s victories have been competitive, but the defending Super Bowl champions continue to find a way to come out on top. The Buccaneers got off to a good start, but they have lost back-to-back close games to good teams from Baltimore and Atlanta and now sit at 4-4.

Kansas City comes in as a heavy 9 1/2-point favorite, matching the biggest spread of the week, despite the fact that the Chiefs have only won twice by that many points. Kansas City is -500 on the money line, while Tampa Bay is +375, and the over-under is 45 1/2.

Bookies.com: Bet the Chiefs to cover vs Buccaneers

Bill Speros writes: “Monday night delivers an election-eve rematch of Super Bowl 55 as the 4-4 Buccaneers visit the 7-0 Chiefs. But Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski aren’t walking through any door at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs continue to dominate with defense, and Patrick Mahomes being Patrick Mahomes. Kansas City has won 13 straight overall. But the Chiefs slipped to 5-2 ATS as the Raiders rallied for a backdoor cover on the 9-point line Sunday in Las Vegas. This is KC’s 2nd biggest line of the season and – surprisingly – just the second time they’ve been favored by more than a touchdown. The Buccaneers can score anytime, but have gotten scorched by the Ravens (Lamar Jackson) and Falcons (Kirk Cousins) in consecutive weeks. This week, they’ll be lit up by KC’s defense.”k 6. We’ll bite on the under here, but reserve the right to jump off it goes any lower.”
