Super Bowl LV: Kansas City Chiefs at Tampa Bay Buccaneers odds, picks, line and spread
It has all come down to this: the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face off on Sunday in Super Bowl LV.
It will be a matchup of a pair of the game's best quarterbacks: legendary veteran Tom Brady and young superstar Patrick Mahomes.
Brady is chasing what could be his last league title, while Mahomes is likely still in the early stages of his already-sensational career.
The matchup should also feature a strong coaching duel between Tampa Bay's Bruce Arians and Kansas City's Andy Reid. Both are grizzled coaching veterans with track records of success.
Kansas City is the reigning Super Bowl champion and looking to repeat on Sunday. Tampa Bay hopes to claim its first Super Bowl win since 2003.
The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on CBS.
