NFL Week 8 Overreactions
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the wildest games from Week 8.
Sports Seriously
The Kansas City Chiefs (7-0) remain perfect on their quest for a three-peat, and they’ll go for another victory when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-4) on Monday night.
Injuries have plagued Tampa Bay, and it fell just short of getting revenge on the Atlanta Falcons in the third loss in the last four Buccaneer games. Things are starting to look shaky and Baker Mayfield will be tasked with righting the ship against a tough opponent.
Travis Kelce finally got in the endzone and the Chiefs rolled toward another victory against the lowly Las Vegas Raiders. Kansas City keeps finding ways to win and no one looks like they can stop the Chiefs kingdom from hoisting another Lombardi Trophy.

Lorenzo Reyes: Chiefs 30, Buccaneers 23
Kansas City should win, but the Buccaneers have been scrappy. This line, given the Chiefs’ middling offensive production, feels like it’s a bit too high.
Tyler Dragon: Chiefs 24, Buccaneers 17
The Chiefs are the seventh reigning Super Bowl champion in NFL history to win each of their first seven games. DeAndre Hopkins had two catches in his Chiefs debut. He’ll continue to get comfortable in Kansas City’s offense. The Bucs are playing without their top two wide receivers. The lone undefeated team in the NFL improves to 8-0.
Richard Morin: Chiefs 31, Buccaneers 19
Tampa Bay was one of my sleeper picks as a Super Bowl contender this season, but I’m just not sure they have the firepower left to compete with teams like the Chiefs.
Jordan Mendoza: Chiefs 25, Buccaneers 20
Despite having talent out, Tampa Bay still has enough to hang with the Chiefs, especially since the defending champions haven’t blown anyone out. Still, Kansas City will be rocking on Monday night and they keep the Buccaneers away from snatching a victory.
