The Week 10 Buccaneers vs 49ers matchup features two of the NFL’s most dangerous teams. Tampa Bay (4-5) is fresh off a heartbreaking overtime loss to the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. Now the club must rebound as they take on another of the league’s top teams in this home battle against the dangerous Niners.
Meanwhile, San Fransisco (4-4) has underperformed their ranking as a Super Bowl favorite. Injuries to stars like Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk (season-ending), and Deebo Samuel have restrained an otherwise high-octane offense. McCaffrey, who is the cog that makes the offense run, has a real chance to make his season debut this week.

Buccaneers vs 49ers Prediction
TB Bucs 24, SF 49ers 27
The potential return of McCaffrey is immense! If last season’s Offensive Player of the Year is able to make his long-awaited return, he will be an immediate needle-mover. He and breakout fill-in Jordan Mason would immediately become one of the most dangerous rushing tandems in the league.
Tampa Bay’s offense is also no joke. Former #1 overall pick has looked as sharp as ever as the Bucs’ signal caller. Unfortunately this otherwise dynamic passing attack is without co-stars Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (season-ending) due to injuries. However, playmakers like Cade Otton and Rachaad White still provide the Buccaneers with the horsepower to compete with anyone.
Buccaneers vs 49ers Best Bets
Cade Otton Anytime Touchdown (+162)
Otton is the rare tight end who has established himself as the clear #1 pass-catcher on his team. San Fransisco’s defense has also allowed the second-most receiving touchdowns to tight ends this season (6), and the sixth-most receiving yards (570) to the position.
A legitimate argument could be made that the Niners are the league’s worst team at containing opposing tight ends. Without Godwin or Evans in the fold, Otton is the favorite to lead his team in targets. Bettors should hammer the over on any Otton lines this week.
George Kittle Anytime Touchdown (+140)
On the other side of the ball, Kittle has established himself as one of the sport’s best tight ends. Tampa is also tied for the forth-most touchdowns surrendered to opposing tight ends (4). If McCaffrey plays, he will open up the offense for players like Kittle and Purdy to thrive. If he sits, Kittle will be one of San Fransisco’s most dangerous weapons.
Either way, Kittle has a great chance to hit pay dirt.
