Tampa Bay (4-5) is fresh off a heartbreaking overtime loss to the undefeated <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/chiefs\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>. Now the club must rebound as they take on another of the league&#8217;s top teams in this home battle against the dangerous Niners.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, San Fransisco (4-4) has underperformed their ranking as a <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.foxsports.com\/stories\/nfl\/2025-super-bowl-lix-odds\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Super Bowl favorite<\/a>. Injuries to stars like Christian McCaffrey, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/24\/49ers-jacob-cowing-can-shrink-the-hole-left-by-brandon-aiyuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Brandon Aiyuk<\/a> (season-ending), and Deebo Samuel have restrained an otherwise high-octane offense. McCaffrey, who is the cog that makes the offense run, has a <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/nfl-week-10-injury-tracker-latest-updates-on-christian-mccaffrey-ceedee-lamb-tee-higgins-and-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">real chance to make his season debut<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<h2>Baker Mayfield and Brock Purdy Battle is a Matchup of Two Injury-Riddled, High-Powered Clubs in Buccaneers vs 49ers<\/h2>\n<h2>Buccaneers vs 49ers Odds<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Moneyline:<\/b> 49ers (-275) vs Buccaneers (+225)<\/li>\n<li><b>Spread:<\/b> 49ers -6.0 (-110) vs Buccaneers +6.0 (-110)<\/li>\n<li><b>Over\/Under:\u00a0<\/b>Over 50.5 (-110) \/ Under 50.5 (-110)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Buccaneers vs 49ers Prediction<\/h2>\n<h3>TB Bucs 24, SF 49ers 27<\/h3>\n<p>The potential return of McCaffrey is immense! If last season&#8217;s Offensive Player of the Year is able to make his <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/09\/13\/49ers-face-a-critical-decision-with-one-of-their-star-players\/\" target=\"_self\">long-awaited return<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Tampa Bay&#8217;s offense is also no joke. Former #1 overall pick has looked as sharp as ever as the Bucs&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\">[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Buccaneers vs 49ers Best Bets<\/h2>\n<h3>Cade Otton Anytime Touchdown (+162)<\/h3>\n<p>Otton is the rare tight end who has established himself as the clear #1 pass-catcher on his team. San Fransisco&#8217;s defense has also allowed the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/nfl\/ask\/which-teams-allows-tight-ends-the-most-yards-this-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">second-most receiving touchdowns to tight ends this season<\/a> (6), and the<a  href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/nfl\/ask\/which-teams-allows-tight-ends-the-most-yards-this-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> sixth-most receiving yards<\/a> (570) to the position.<\/p>\n<p>A legitimate argument could be made that the Niners are the league&#8217;s worst team at containing opposing tight ends. Without Godwin or Evans in the fold, Otton is the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2024\/10\/22\/bucs-pass-catchers-to-step-up-in-fantasy-without-star-playmakers\/\" target=\"_self\">favorite to lead his team<\/a> in targets. Bettors should hammer the over on any Otton lines this week.<\/p>\n<h3>George Kittle Anytime Touchdown (+140)<\/h3>\n<p>On the other side of the ball, Kittle has established himself as one of the sport&#8217;s best tight ends. Tampa is also tied for the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/nfl\/ask\/which-teams-allows-tight-ends-the-most-yards-this-season\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">forth-most touchdowns surrendered to opposing tight ends<\/a> (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&#8217;s most dangerous weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, Kittle has a great chance to hit pay dirt.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Courtesy of Jay Biggerstaff &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Buccaneers vs 49ers battle features some of the most dangerous weapons, including two game-breaking tight ends, in the NFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2957,"featured_media":198989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32810,31,29],"tags":[3418,9212,9132,1960],"class_list":["post-198903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-predictions","category-49ers","category-buccaneers","tag-baker-mayfield","tag-brock-purdy","tag-cade-otton","tag-george-kittle"],"modified_by":"Joshua Stewart","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2957"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198903\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
