The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the San Francisco 49ers for a Week 6 clash. This NFC South vs NFC West clash will feature two of the best NFC teams going at each other, in a potentially low scoring clash. The Buccaneers have remained hot this season, with Baker Mayfield leading the way. They got themselves a gritty win in Week 5, beating the Seattle Seahawks even with multiple injuries to their team. The Bucs have been resilient this season and are currently leading the NFC South division with a 4-1 record.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers have also been struggling with injuries to multiple players on their roster. However, even they have managed to stay afloat, leading the NFC West division with a 4-1 record. The 49ers had a statement win against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 5, and despite all the injuries, they still beat the Rams who are considered to be some of the best teams in the NFL. In week 6, multiple players are not going to participate with Brock Purdy listed as out and even their backup QB Mac Jones is questionable to start.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Christian McCaffrey anytime TD scorer | -180 | -160 |
| Rachaad White anytime TD scorer | -120 | -175 |
| Baker Mayfield Over 33.5 passing attempts | -130 | -105 |
While the Buccaneers have a stout run defense, ranking 8th overall, Christian McCaffrey is still a threat to score a TD since the 49ers are heavily reliant on him to make plays. McCaffrey has at least had 13 or more rush attempts in every game, and he has also been a go-to pass target for his quarterback. His sheer volume of touches he gets in every game makes us believe that he is a threat to score a TD at anytime, despite a slow start to McCaffrey’s season.
Rachaad White is a threat to score at any given moment because of his recent explosion against the Seahawks in Week 5 where he scored two TDs. White is also a threat because of the 49ers’ rushing defense, which has fallen off since week one, sitting 15th overall. While the Bucs have a pass-heavy offense, looking at the 49ers’ run-defense, coach Todd Bowles might decide to switch it tonight.
Baker Mayfield has at least attempted 29 or more passes in every game he’s played thus far, and looking at the 49ers’ mediocre secondary, we believe his passing attempts will go over 33.5. The Bucs also have suffered multiple injuries with both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out for the game, and we expect Mayfield to take it upon himself and try to do more with the ball in this game.
We expect the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to take down the 49ers in this game simply because the 49ers have way too many of their offensive and defensive weapons on the injury report, thoroughly crippling the 49ers’ chances. While we expect this game to be a very close matchup, Baker Mayfield should be able to do enough damage to the 49ers, and the Bucs are also great defensively, ranking 11th overall, which should be able to contain Christian McCaffrey’s run game.
Prediction: Buccaneers win the game 23-20
