Buccaneers vs 49ers Prediction
We’re getting points with the 49ers who have had extra time to prepare for this game and like I said last week it feels like people keep trying to write off this team given the injury situation. The 49ers showed just that last week with a big upset over the Rams. The problem is the Bucs are a team that continues to grow on me, and that top-10 scoring offense should test this 49ers defense.
Mayfield is playing at an MVP level right now, and it feels like the entire team has piked up his confidence. The Buccaneers are a team to watch right now, and I’m not trying to step in front of them. I’ll lay the small number with the home team.
