Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs San Francisco 49ers
I’m with San Francisco here. I just think that this San Francisco defense is legit to begin with, and while Tampa Bay’s been able to put up some points it makes you wonder how much more damage this team could do if Chris Godwin or Mike Evans were healthy. Without them, there’s only so often you can get away with it and I don’t think that San Francisco will let the Bucs off the hook here. Give me San Fran.
