+ Tom is a statue, so we need to generate pressure through the middle otherwise he has weapons and can hit them in the mid-ranges, similar to Oakland last night. He's infinitely smarter than Carr, but probably less talented than the version of Carr we saw last night - or at least on par.
+ TB's receiving talent is right up there with the best in the league. For some reason Evans/Brady have been slightly off, and we'll have to hope that continues. Gronk is a shell of himself, but still a large target that might be difficult for, say, HB, to defend if the ball is placed in the right location.
+ TB's secondary is young, talented and smart, but prone to youthful mistakes. We should be able to confuse them as the game goes on.
+ TB's run game can be nasty, and we need to shut them down early. Rojo is no joke.

Tampa doesn't always play well but I expect them to bring it tomorrow. We need to do the same.
This is going to be a premier game played in this time slot.

Bucs may have a lot of trouble dealing the Chiefs receivers. They want to play a lot of man, but playing man against Hill/Kelce/Watkins is problematic at best. Playing zone while doubling Hill and Kelce can be effective, but then you can't double Watkins, and playing man against Sammy is not going to work most of the time.
And their secondary is a young group, so asking them to play a style they don't normally play could be a big mistake.
