The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers face off on Sunday in an NFL showdown at Levis Stadium.
Bucs Lucky to Play in NFC South
The Buccaneers are lucky to be playing in the NFC South because they have a realistic chance to make the playoffs. In the last game against the Tennessee Titans, the Buccaneers ddi score 20 points and they won by 14 points. The 10 points in the third quarter was the difference. Baker Mayfiel had a solid game putting up 278 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The Buccaneers have been inconsistent at times and the quarterback play has been one of the reasons. The offense also hasn’t been exactly elite and they are averaging 19.8 points per game. The defense has been a strong suit and is giving up only 19.2 points per game.

Shane’s Free Pick
This game is going to come down to the defenses, and I expect both are going to step up. The Buccaneers strength has been wit the defense and they are going to step up here. I also don’t trust Baker Mayfield. In the Buccaneers last game, Mayfield threw one interception and he’s going to throw at least that here. Both quarterbacks are going to struggle here and the under is going to cash.
