NFL news:NFL Preseason Betting

If past trends are any indicators to the present success of a team than NFL bettors should stay away from Kansas City in this contest. The Chiefs are 0-7 ATS in week 2 of the pre-season the past 7 years and are also 7-1 to the under in that same situation. That equates to a team simply not being able to score at all. With new coordinators on both sides of the ball, Kansas City should still be working out the numerous kinks they have running their plays.

They do have the chance to become more efficient against one of the younger teams in the NFL who will looking to improve themselves. The Buccaneers starters looked very good last week in a sloppy game against Miami as they were the only ones to put up points for Tampa Bay. The young Buccaneers need to build off that momentum and confidence to provide a good showing in this game tonight. They have the trends on their side and they could end up catching some of Kansas City’s players in missed assignments based on confusion due to the new playbook.

As always with Florida based games, weather will be an issue in this game so make sure you find accurate reports before wagering on this game. Sloppy weather breeds sloppy football and a total like 34 is vulnerable to an over with a few costly turnovers in the red zone.

Tampa Bay wants to continue to work on its pass rush and get pressure on the QB and with KC’s offensive line struggles that remain from a year ago, the Buccaneers could have great success in this area. For a young team like Tampa, improvement and chemistry is more important than winning in a game like this, so although Kansas City has been horrible ATS in week 2 historically, how confident can you be laying points with a Tampa team that was listed as an underdog in all 16 of their games last year.

The Chiefs have added some veteran leadership like RB Thomas Jones to their roster this off-season, and with both coordinators hailing from the glory days of New England, this team has brighter days ahead.
