Chiefs at Bucs Highlight a Strong NFL Week 3

Prime Video kicks off week three with a Super Bowl-best matchup of top AFC playoff contenders.  The defending AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals will host the Miami Dolphins.  Of course, the Bengals were the upstart surprise of the 2021 AFC season.  Cincinnati caught a lot of teams napping en route to the Super Bowl.  In turn, the Bengals will have everyone’s attention for the 2022 campaign.  Miami has suffered through a chaotic offseason.  Despite two consecutive seasons, the Dolphins fired head coach Brian Flores.  Flores retaliated by saying that owner Stephen Ross offered to pay him to throw games.

Dolphins and Bengals Flash Quarterbacks of the Future

Namely, Tua Tagovailoa and Joe Burrow are two of the biggest young best sportsbook online names for NFL quarterbacks.  In the past two seasons, Tua has had two near playoff misses for the NFL playoffs.  Of great concern is his inability to stay in the lineup.  Joe Burrow became a national sensation for leading the 2021 Bengals to the Super Bowl.

At the beginning of the season, are betting on Super Bowl questions about Cincinnati being able to repeat as AFC champions.  It is possible the Bengals could be a better team in 2022.  Yet the road to a repeat is never easy.

Mike McDaniels takes over as the Dolphins’ head coach.  Last year he was the San Francisco 49ers’ offensive coordinator.  San Francisco had a strong Super Bowl betting odds run to the 2021 NFC championship game.

Chiefs at Buccaneers Super Bowl Rematch and Potential Preview

Of course, any Super Bowl betting matchup of the Chiefs and Buccaneers starts with their marquee quarterbacks.  Patrick Mahomes continues to rewrite the Kansas City record book.  But he was off his game in the second half of the Chiefs’ AFC championship game loss to the Bengals.  Of course, Tom Brady is the GOAT of quarterbacks.  And is the living, breathing Fountain of Youth.  Brady unretired after a month with the wife and kids.  And that makes Tampa Bay an instant Super Bowl Favorite.

Two seasons ago, the Buccaneers routed the Chiefs 31-9 in a Super Bowl upset.  Following that debacle, the Chiefs lost a lot of credibility with gamblers.  Tampa Bay won just its second Super Bowl championship.  It was Brady’s first season with the Bucs and away from the Patriots.

Certainly, the Chiefs have an opportunity to take away some of the stings of their Super Bowl loss on the national NBC stage.
