We barely survived last week’s SNF slugfest between the 49ers and Broncos — a Melvin Gordon III TD salvaging a split and keeping us in the black.
To close out Sunday’s games in Week 4, we’ve got a rematch of the Super Bowl 55, and two teams contending at the top of the 2023 Super Bowl odds.
Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs are coming off their first losses of the season. Throw in the recent title tilt, and there should be plenty of juice in this matchup.
It all gets underway from Raymond James Stadium tonight at 8:20pm ET, in a game you can see live on NBC.

Prop #1: Patrick Mahomes Passing Yards
After lighting up the Arizona Cardinals to open the season, Mahomes has fallen under this total in his last two games, throwing for 235 yards to the Chargers and 262 in a loss to the Colts.
The Bucs present a different situation though, as they possess one of the elite run defenses in the NFL. They are one of four teams to hold the opposition to under 100 yards rushing per game, and they are a top-10 unit in yards per carry allowed at 3.8.

KC will still try to strike some kind of balance, but their success will likely come from Mahomes chucking it all over the field.
In Super Bowl 55, even under siege, he still managed to pass this total with 270 yards. In his only other career matchup with the Bucs, Mahomes shredded them for 462 yards passing and three TD’s.
Pick: Mahomes OVER 262.5 passing yards receptions (-115); 1.5 units to win 1.31 units

Prop #2: Fournette Rush Yards & Edwards-Helaire Carries
Fournette had his worst output of the season in Tampa’s 14-12 loss to Green Bay, logging just 12 carries for 35 yards. In their two wins, he had carried over 20 times and crossed this line both times.
The Chiefs have been pretty solid in pass defense, giving up just 5.5 yards per pass, which ranks 6th-best in the league. Couple that with an ailing receiving group — that does have Mike Evans back — and striking a nice pass-run balance will be key. At plus-odds, it’s a no-brainer.
Bucs O has been very underwhelming this yr, so they've been trying to lean on what their (healthy) players are best at

As for CEH, who’s in a timeshare with veteran Jerick McKinnon and Isaiah Pacheco, this seems like an unusually high carry figure. In three games this season, Edwards-Helaire has yet to carry nine times, and now we’re expecting the Chiefs to give him 10 for you to cash in?
It’s actually seven straight games the Chiefs’ back has gone under 10 totes. He did manage 11 carries against the Bucs in the regular season meeting in 2020, and was limited to nine in the Super Bowl.
- Pick: Fournette OVER 56.5 yards rushing (+100); 1 units to win 1 unit
- Pick: Edwards-Helaire UNDER 9.5 rushing attempts (-115); 1 unit to win 0.87units
Chiefs vs Buccaneers Scoring Props
| Player | Odds to Score 1st TD | Odds to Score Any TD |
|---|---|---|
| Leonard Fournette (TB) | +600 | -115 |
| Travis Kelce (KC) | +650 | +100 |
| Mike Evans (TB) | +750 | +115 |
| Clyde Edwards-Helaire (KC) | +900 | +135 |
| Chris Godwin (TB) | +1000 | +160 |
| Julio Jones (TB) | +1300 | +210 |
| JuJu Smith-Schuster (KC) | +1300 | +225 |
| Russell Gage (TB) | +1400 | +230 |
| Marquez Valdes-Scantling (KC) | +1500 | +245 |
| Mecole Hardman (KC) | +1600 | +275 |
| Jerick McKinnon (KC) | +1900 | +330 |
Chiefs vs Bucaneers Touchdown Scorer Odds
There’s a distinct possibility Travis Kelce finds the endzone. The Chiefs’ tight end has scored at least one major in eight of his last nine appearances. If you’re looking for extra juice, consider he’s scored KC’s first TD against their last three NFC opponents.

Edwards-Helaire may be down touches, but he’s scored a TD in each of his last four Sunday games.
On the home side, Mike Evans is back, and he’s Tom Brady’s top red zone target, with at least one score in five of his last six games.
Pick:
- Kelce anytime TD scorer (+100); 1 units to win 1 unit
- Kelce FIRST TD scorer (+650); 0.5 units to win 1.875 units
- SNF Week 3 player prop bet record: 2-2; Overall: 7-5, +0.77 units
