Randy’s Pick
The San Francisco 49ers looked like the old 49ers in their road win over the Jaguars, and now they're back home where they play their best ball. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers haven't been good over the last month, they can't run the ball and the offensive line is spotty. Baker Mayfield is also good for a turnover or two against good defenses. The 49ers defense is one of the best in football. This could get ugly for the road team. Big number, but I like the 49ers to roll.
