Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs San Francisco 49ers Player Prop Picks
The matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 10, 2024, is set to be an intriguing game, with both teams entering Week 10 with distinct strengths. The 49ers, third in the NFC West, have shown a balanced offensive approach led by quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey. Purdy’s efficiency, with 2,101 passing yards and 13 touchdowns. The Buccaneers, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, are contending in the NFC South but have struggled with consistency. Mayfield has thrown for 2,389 yards and 25 touchdowns.
The Buccaneers’ path to success will involve containing McCaffrey and applying pressure on Purdy, who has shown vulnerability when forced into quick decisions. The game will likely hinge on whether the Bucs’ defense can step up against a top-tier 49ers offense and whether Mayfield can exploit any gaps in San Francisco’s secondary.
Christian McCaffrey Over 64.5 Rush Yards -120
Christian McCaffrey had a highly productive 2023 NFL season, showcasing his exceptional skills as both a rusher and receiver with the San Francisco 49ers. He recorded a total of 1,459 rushing yards on 272 carries, averaging 5.4 yards per carry across 16 games. This translated to an impressive 91.2 rushing yards per game. Additionally, McCaffrey scored 14 rushing touchdowns. His performance earned him recognition, including a Pro Bowl selection and the Offensive Player of the Year award.
This is his first game back from injury and I expect McCaffrey to pick up right where he left off. We saw a total of 50.5 points in this game so expect both teams to be able to move the ball. We saw this Bucs defense give up 100+ yards to Derek Henry just a couple of weeks ago. This line is criminally low for McCaffrey. Take his over.
Brock Purdy Over 263.5 Pass Yards -110
As of Week 9 in the 2024 season, Brock Purdy has played 8 games, completing 138 of 216 passes for 1,841 yards, 9 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions. His completion percentage stands at 63.9%, with an average of 230.1 yards per game. His passer rating is 91.2, and he’s averaging 6.7 yards per attempt. Despite some turnovers, Purdy continues to manage the 49ers’ offense efficiently, particularly in their passing game.
Now that McCaffrey is back I expect Brock to look like his old self which we’ve seen light up the stat sheet. He has one of the highest passing yards lines out of all quarterbacks on Sunday and that’s for a good reason. We’ve seen multiple shootouts in Tampa this season and with a total this high I think we see another one. He’s gotten over this number in five games this season and on Sunday he’ll make it a sixth.
Rachaad White Over 27.5 Rec Yards -115
As of the 2024 NFL season, Rachaad White has been involved in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ passing game as a key receiving threat from the backfield. Through 8 games, he has caught 31 passes for 252 yards, averaging 8.1 yards per reception with 3 touchdowns. His longest reception so far has been 32 yards. White has been targeted 34 times, with a solid catch rate of 91.2%. This performance shows White’s role as a consistent receiving option out of the backfield, providing a reliable outlet for quarterback Baker Mayfield. He’s on pace to surpass his 2023 receiving totals, where he finished with 64 catches for 549 yards.
Rachaad White has a higher receiving yards line than he does a rushing yards line which for a running back is rare. This Bucs team has shown they want Bucky Irving to be their leadback while White comes in on passing sets. Expect Baker Mayfield to be pressured heavily by this Niners defensive line which will force him to use White as a safety nine. White was quiet in the passing game against Kansas City last week but I think we see him bounce back and get 30+ receiving yards on Sunday.
