Kansas City Chiefs
Current Odds: -165
Kansas City Chiefs looked to have peaked at the right time and are saving their best for the finals. The Chiefs are currently ranked in third place when it comes to offense and total weighted DVOA (defense-adjusted value over average). They are 13th in rush DVOA and second in pass DVOA. When it comes to defense, the Chiefs are 16th in pass DVOA, 24th in total weighted DVOA and 31st in rush DVOA.
They will depend heavily on QB Patrick Mahomes to help them defeat the experienced Buccaneers because they will be without Mitchell Schwartz and most likely L’Jarius Sneed. The fitness of Sammy Watkins is also questionable although the Chiefs are pushing to get him fit and ready for Sunday.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Current Odds: +145
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are 2-2 when it comes to Super Bowl wins when playing against each other in the finals. He will have to play a big role along with Rob Gronkowski if the Buccaneers are going to defeat the champions.
The Buccaneers offense ranks in first place when it comes to rush DVOA, second in weighted DVOA and fifth in pass DVOA. When it comes to defense, the Buccaneers are ranked in fifth place in pass DVOA, sixth in total weighted DVOA and first in rush DVOA.
The Buccaneers have quite a few players injured. Some of the players who could miss Super Bowl Sunday include linebackers Jason Pierre-Paul, Lavonte David and wide receiver Antonio Brown.
