Week 9 of the NFL season concludes with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers taking on the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in a road tilt that could end up being a huge game for both teams.
The Chiefs, on one hand, remain undefeated and in full control of the AFC's no. 1 playoff seed. Going to 8-0 keeps them two games ahead of the Buffalo Bills in that respect.
Meanwhile, the Bucs can't afford to drop to 4-5 and suffer their third-straight loss. They wouldn't be out of the playoff race by any means, but a three-game losing streak is tough to swallow after starting out on a hot note.
Nonetheless, this one should provide fans with plenty of entertainment on the field. And, all while the action is taking place, yes, there will indeed be a Manningcast for this edition of Monday Night Football.
More Bucs news:
With hosts Peyton and Eli Manning both analyzing the action and hitting other key NFL storylines in between, fans have grown to love the different perspective on live action. It's been a fun home for many fans to watch the action in recent years.
The Manning brothers will have no shortage of topics in this one, too, with a lot of storylines to bring up. Between the exciting and sometimes-erratic play of Baker Mayfield, the Chiefs offense surviving without some key names and, of course, Patrick Mahomes, there's a whole lot to cover.
Oh, and a certain Chiefs tight end may or may not have a famous girlfriend that will surely be a topic of conversation.
Aside from the on-field action, who should we expect to see on Week 9's edition of the Manningcast? The guests have officially been revealed.
Who are the guests on the Week 9 Manningcast for Bucs vs. Chiefs?
To help the Chiefs/Bucs fodder, the Manning brothers are bringing on a familiar guest to start with, former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.

Belichick has become a staple on the program and is never short on things to say which will get fans talking.
Maybe the most amusing guest, though, will be actor Jason Sudeikis, who is a big Chiefs fan. Known for his roles in the hit show Ted Lasso and movies like Horrible Bosses, Sudeikis will not likely let the fans down with some humourous banter in this one.
Lastly, there's Maria Taylor, who is one of the more well-known sports personalities having worked for ESPN and the SEC Network, but currently resides with NBC Sports.
It will be a fun and diverse lineup tonight with all three guests having some key NFL knowledge, which doesn't always happen, but the fans appreciate.
