This Week 4 installment of Sunday Night Football should not disappoint. Chiefs-Buccaneers was a recent Super Bowl matchup and it could be again – even though neither team is favored to win its respective conference at the moment. Both teams come in with 2-1 records, so the loser will be saddled with an even record and the winner will be two games over .500. Even though it's still very early in the season, this is most definitely a big one.
With kickoff set for 8:20 pm ET on NBC, it’s time to take a look at the best touchdown scorer bets to be made for this rematch of Super Bowl LV.
Kansas City Chiefs touchdown scorer best bet: Travis Kelce, TE (+100)
If I can get Kelce at plus money, I'm taking it – even if it's right on the number at +100. The best tight end in the business (or T1 with Baltimore's Mark Andrews) has found the endzone in 2 of Kansas City's first 3 games. It is also worth noting that Kelce has been targeted 24 times through 3 weeks, turning those chances into 17 receptions for 230 yards. That is no surprise, especially considering the fact that Patrick Mahomes no longer has Tyreek Hill at his disposal. Mahomes has basically no choice but to target Kelce early and often. Marquez Valdes-Scantling is questionable, too, which would put even more on Kelce's shoulders. The Bucs are 5th in the NFL in rushing defense and have not allowed a TD on the ground, so the Chiefs will surely be taking to the air. Tampa Bay was mediocre at defending tight ends last season and has been the same so far in 2022, so there is no reason to think that Kelce will be kept under wraps.
