Chiefs Injuries Leave Obvious Weakness for Buccaneers to Exploit in Super Bowl 55

Super Bowl LV is set, with the Kansas City Chiefs traveling to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium. The Chiefs had little trouble dispatching the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship, but the team lost starting offensive tackle Eric Fisher to a torn Achilles in the process and will have to make do without him in the big game.

Kansas City's ravaged offensive line gives the Buccaneers a clear advantage heading into Super Bowl LV.

The Chiefs obviously wouldn't choose to start two 7th-rounders, an undrafted free agent, a guard who was recently cut, and a left tackle with zero snaps at that position since 2016, but this is what the AFC champ is left for their clash against Tampa Bay.

The Buccaneers' defense must be chomping at the bit knowing who will be protecting Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. Tampa was No. 5 in Football Outsiders' defensive DVOA metric, including No. 1 in rush defense DVOA. Giving a deadly defense like this a matchup with inexperienced talent is a recipe for trouble for KC.

Still, the Chiefs have the former MVP Mahomes at QB and a bevy of weapons, making them the frontrunners to win the Super Bowl.

Kansas City is the opening 3-point favorite over Tampa, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
