I'm rooting for Brady and Bucs but it looks like Mahomes, Kelce and the rest of the Chiefs have this game.
Besides the special teams turnover to start the game and the Brady fumble/mental error to not recognize the corner blitz, the big difference is the Chiefs can run the ball fairly well and the Bucs right now can't. The interior of the Bucs offensive line isn't as good with a retirement and Jensen injury.
I thought the Bucs made a mistake to not reap Suh who besides a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty played really well against the Rams in the playoffs. The guy is an ironman and Akiem Hicks his replacement appears to be turning into an injury prone player. Healthy Hicks may be better than Suh at this point but the best ability is availability.
