As the Buccaneers get set to take on the 49ers at home on Sunday, we here at Bucs Nation will dive into some picks and predictions for Tampa Bay’s big Week 6 home matchup.
Check it all out below.
Offense
Tampa Bay’s offense is ranked 11th in the NFL this season as they are now going the be facing a San Francisco defense that has not allowed much scoring against them (just under 20 points per game). But Baker Mayfield and the rest of the offense have found ways to put points up on the board, enough to pull games out late. This may not be the Buccaneers day. However, they will find a way to put up at least 27 points against a Top-10 scoring defense.
Defense
On the other side of the ball, the 49ers offense has not been able to put up much scoring this season. Yet, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco offense has managed to put up nearly 300 passing yards per game on average this season. Look for the Tampa Bay defense to step up big time Sunday as they hold Purdy and the 49ers to a shade over 200 yards through the air.
Gil Arcia (5-0): Bucs 29, 49ers 20
