The Buccaneers will be playing on their home field in Raymond James Stadium when they take on the Chiefs on Sunday (6:30 p.m. ET, CBS) in .WhileTampa Bay isthe to get to the Super Bowl, that means Kansas City is the first true road team in the usual neutral site NFL championship game.Whether this is an advantage for the Buccaneers on https://www.cardinalsjerseysonestop.com/st-louis-cardinals-jersey/chris-beck-jersey gameday is the question. There's no doubt their coaches and players, like everyone else in the league, are creatures of habit and prefer to have a more settled, consistent routine which has made the situation more comfortable leading up to the game.Tom Brady spelled that out when asked about the situation early duringhis Super Bowl week media availability.Im happy Im in my own bed. Im happy Im eating good stuff at home. Im happy I had extra time to prepare, Brady said. I dont have to travel, dont have to pack my clothes, pack up all my other crap. Its our own locker room, our own practice field. In the end, theres some real positives to take from it https://www.cardinalsjerseysonestop.com/st-louis-cardinals-jersey/blank-jersey .Brady has been through the rigors of Super Bowl week nine times before 2021, and after a while, it became normalized with the Patriots.But the Buccaneers havelimited Super Bowl experience beyond Brady and field mostly a young, homegrown team that didn't even experience the playoffsbefore 2020.SUPER BOWL PICKS: | For those players, not worrying about disruption is big, especially after fighting hard in three road playoff games to get back to Tampa as the NFC's top wild-card team. The Buccaneersdidn't need to get on a flight or adjust to different kind of hotel life before a game of the highest magnitude.In most years, that also would help them quiet down the hype, noise and media blitzof Super Bowl week. But with COVID-19 protocols in place, there isn't the same glaring spotlight on either team with virtual interviews and much le s of the pregame hoopla. That leads into a limited presence of 22,000fans at https://www.cardinalsjerseysonestop.com/st-louis-cardinals-jersey/daniel-ponce-de-leon-jersey the game with about a third of the stadium full.Likeevery Super Bowl, it will be a split crowd.While the Bucs are helped a little, the Chiefs won't be affected. They chose to stay in Kansas City to keep their regular-season routine as well and will fly to Tampa only on Saturday night, not much different from a typical road game.The Chiefs were 8-2 at home this season including playoffs, but they were 8-0 away from Arrowhead Stadium. Including Super Bowl 54 over the 49ers in Miami a year ago, the Chiefs have won 12 consecutive road games. Their last away lo s was in Nashville against the Titans on Nov. 10, 2019. That was https://www.cardinalsjerseysonestop.com/st-louis-cardinals-jersey/harrison-bader-jersey their lone road lo s of that season.MORE:The Buccaneers went 5-3 at home this season, losing to the Saints, Rams and finally the Chiefs, 27-24in Week 12. They also went 1-3 in night games,with their lone win coming by two points over the Giants in Week 8.By being the home team, the Buccaneers did get to first and wisely went with traditional road whites. Brady went 4-1 in Super Bowls wearing white for the Patriots and2-2 when he didn't. That adds to the reason why white-jersey teams have won 13 of the past 16 Super Bowls and 34 of 54 overall. The Chiefs were one of those teams as the designated home teamin Super Bowl 54.Color us skeptical that's a big deal when Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid are on https://www.cardinalsjerseysonestop.com/st-louis-cardinals-jersey/john-gant-jersey the other side. The Buccaneers are facing a Chiefs team that didn't just experience winning it all last year and expects to keep winning this year, but also one that is both road- and battle-tested.The Bucs do have home-field advantage in the sense there's no added disadvantage. But in terms of intimidating or challenging the Chiefs, there is no such edge. They have proved to feel too much at home on the road, including at Tampa just two months ago. |
