Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season wraps up on Monday Night Football with a Super Bowl LV rematch, as the battered Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+9.5) head to Kansas City to take on the undefeated Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. The Bucs have lost both starting receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin while the Chiefs will continue to be without Rashee Rice and Isiah Pacheco, while adding Juju Smith-Schuster to that list. Baker Mayfield won’t go down without a fight, but the Chiefs have too much of an advantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball for Tampa Bay to be able to make this one competitive. Let’s dive into my best Buccaneers vs Chiefs player prop bet for tonight, while you can also find out our full Buccaneers vs Chiefs predictions on the side and total for MNF as well as our NFL picks for every game throughout the season.

Deandre Hopkins (KC) over 3.5 receptions (-128)

Next man up in Kansas City is a fairly normal phrase, but in this case, the next man is a former three-time First Team All-Pro wide receiver in Deandre Hopkins. Last week was Hopkins’ first game as a Chief, where he caught 2 passes on 3 targets in 32% of snaps. I expect a much larger snap count on MNF with an additional week to learn the playbook. The weekly coach transcript includes blurbs about him picking up the playbook quickly, but that’s as expected. For me, this line is still too low even given his short time with Matt Nagy’s playbook.
I rewatched all 3 targets for Hopkins last week and they were all intermediate routes and pushing towards the sideline. I expect KC to draw up a few plays for him as the first read to get the ball into his hands to make plays. The Chiefs will be down to Xavier Worthy, Justin Watson and Mecole Hardman at the WR position so this line is worth the juice even with his lack of experience. 1u
