Chiefs vs Buccaneers Expert Picks & Predictions for Week 4 NFL Sunday Night Football Game

The 2022 NFL season is finally here and the Week 4 schedule is chock full of exciting showdowns. One of the most interesting matchups of the week is the Sunday Night Football showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Chiefs were the victims of an upset last week, losing 20-17 to the Indianapolis Colts. The Buccaneers also hope to rebound after a banged-up roster resulted in a 14-12 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 3.

Can the Chiefs prove that last week's loss was a fluke with a hard-fought road victory? Or will the Buccaneers recreate the Super Bowl LV outcome with a win at Raymond James Stadium?

Here's what projection models and experts across the industry have to say about the Chiefs vs Buccaneers Week 4 SNF matchup.
