Bucs Nation’s gameday thread for the big game.

According to Draftkings Sportsbook, the Chiefs are set as 4.5-point favorites at home with the over/under set at 53. Kickoff is set for 8:20 PM ET tonight.

Kansas City may be facing some challenges off the bat as they head into this game with their star tight end Travis Kelce listed as questionable following a knee injury he suffered during Tuesday’s practice.

For Detroit, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley was ruled out for the game as he is still recovering from an ACL injury he suffered last October.

Outside of Moseley and Kelce, both teams are relatively healthy heading into tonight’s NFL regular season opener. Below are some links relating to this Thursday night matchup.
