The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have started the season with a 5-1 record after a big win at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Tampa Bay was finally able to close things out in a victory formation for the first time this season after their 30-19 victory. Tampa Bay will look to put together another four quarters of winning football next week when they travel to Detroit to face the Lions on Monday Night Football.

So how do the oddsmakers feel about Tampa Bay’s next matchup? Per FanDuel, Tampa Bay is a 5.5-point underdog for Week 7 of the 2025 regular...

In a 2025 season peppered with game-changing injuries across the league, the Buccaneers continue to handle theirs with arguably the most resilience of anyone.

After suffering two more brutal losses in the form of rookie star Emeka Egbuka and starting right guard Luke Haggard, the Bucs soldiered forward on the back of their MVP-contender QB as they bested the equally decimated San Francisco 49ers, 30-19, on Sunday. The victory broke a four-game losing streak to the ‘9ers and marked the first one since 2018.

At some point, the injury luck either has to turn or Tampa finally gets tripped up...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 30-19, to move to 5-1 on the year. It marks the sixth time in franchise history that the Buccaneers have started 5-1 (1979, 1997, 2002, 2005, 2021).

Dating back to the 2021 season, the Buccaneers have now held...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the field against the San Francisco 49ers in week six. This battle of the bays was between two 4-1 teams, both navigating a fair share of injuries and both sporting quarterbacks who have been on hot streaks. Sunday’s game began with Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield on offense.

First Quarter:

Tampa’s offense was first to touch the ball and also first to punt the ball away. The Buccaneers’ defense decided they’d be the unit to strike first when Kindle Vildor, filling in for the many injured Buccaneer corners, step forward and hauled in a...

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers went into the game Sunday tied for the top spot in the NFC. With Tampa’s win, they are not the first-place team in the National Football Conference.

All the results aren’t in yet — the Detroit Lions play on Sunday night along with the Falcons Monday — but no matter what happens in those games, Tampa Bay is...

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.

Predictions

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...

Another week, another late-game fourth quarter comeback, courtesy of Baker Mayfield. Week five featured Mayfield dueling with his 2018 first round constituent Sam Darnold. Darnold had a front row seat to watch as the number one overall pick from that draft tossed two touchdowns and led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to 10 points in the last two minutes of play, getting his team out of Seattle with a victory. Week 6 will likely require more Mayfield magic. The Buccaneers’ injury report is longer than the I-95 and San Francisco has been able to seamlessly work in Mac Jones, who is...

Up until the fourth quarter, everything came up roses for the Buccaneers against the New York Jets in the waning hours of summer.

They forced their first defensive turnovers of the season, including a pick-six, and cruised to a 23-6 lead through three frames, seemingly poised to finally net an “easy” victory after two nail-biters against the Atlanta Falcons and Houston Texans.

Well, the situation changed very quickly.

Two scoring drives by the Tyrod Taylor-led Jets — interjected only by a Chase McLaughlin field goal — cut the lead to a single score, 26-20, with less than 4 minutes remaining....

In Tampa Bay’s, 38-35, win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 5, Mayfield led his fourth game-winning drive and his fourth fourth-quarter comeback of the season to tie Tampa Bay for the NFL’s best record through Week 5. He completed 29-of-33 passes (87.9%) for 379 and two...
