The Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, and in the battle between two struggling teams, the Buccaneers are the consensus pick around the sports world.

When picking straight winners, only one person is calling for a Chiefs victory. Jason La Canafora at CBS Sports forecasts a Kansas City win, and he has no company. ESPN is unanimously for the Bucs among the writers and personalities who have made a pick, and at Yahoo! Sports, Jason Cole, Les Carpenter and the collective Yahoo! users all see a Tampa Bay win in the cards. CBS Sports also picks against the spread, and with Tampa Bay at -3.5, both Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson switch their pick to the Chiefs.

Tampa Bay is 1-3 entering the contest, while Kansas City is 1-4. Backup quarterback Brady Quinn is expected make his first start since 2009, as Matt Cassel remains out with a concussion.
