The Wek 4 edition of Sunday Night Football features what just might be the final matchup between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady.

Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter the game with a 2-1 record on the season. They each suffered losses in Week 3, with the Chiefs falling to the Indianapolis Colts and the Bucs being defeated at the hands of the Green Bay Packers.

Let's take a look at my three favorite prop bets for tonight's marquee showdown.

Sunday Night Football Best Prop Bets for Chiefs vs. Buccaneers

  • Tom Brady UNDER 273.5 Passing Yards (-113)
  • Clyde Edwards-Helaire UNDER 34.5 Rushing Yards (-113)
  • Travis Kelce OVER 6.5 Receptions (+108)

Tom Brady UNDER 273.5 Passing Yards (-115)

I think Tom Brady's days are finally numbered in the NFL. The Buccaneers' offense has been one of the worst in the NFL through the first three weeks, and even when his receivers were healthy early in the season, they still looked stagnant.

Brady is only averaging 224.33 passing yards per game this season, and Tampa Bay is throwing the ball significantly less than they have in years past. They rank 18th in passing play percentage, throwing on only 58.6% of plays.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire UNDER 36.5 Rushing Yards (-115)

I have a feeling the Chiefs are going to start moving away from Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He ran the ball seven times against the Colts, but failed to gain a single yard. It wasn't a pretty sight.

I don't expect him to find much success again today. They face a Buccaneers defense that is allowing only 3.8 yards per carry this season.

Travis Kelce OVER 6.5 Receptions (+100)

It's anyone's guess which wide receiver is going to receive the majority of targets on any given week, but if there's one thing we do know, is that Travis Kelce is going to get his fair share. He's had at least seven targets in each of this first three games, and I expect even more to go his way tonight in a close game against the Buccaneers.

At plus-money, I love this prop bet.
