The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to the west coast to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Here’s how the game will go for the Buccaneers.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers have seemingly been linked as it pertains to the quarterback position for at least a year now. Tom Brady of course grew up a 49ers fan, and when the GOAT’s future with the Buccaneers consistently in doubt, many wonder if the Bucs bring in one of the plethora of passers in the 49ers roster to replace him.
That’s a can of worms best opened for another day though. For now, we’ll let you know how the game will go when these two clash during the late afternoon skate on Sunday.
Here is your official spoiler alert. You have been warned, so read on if you dare.
Despite starting rookie Brock Purdy (this year’s Mr. Irrelevant if you haven’t heard) due to injuries to first Trey Lance and most recently Jimmy Garoppolo, the Buccaneers are 3.5 point dogs. Sure, the Bucs are the road team, but they also have Brady as their quarterback.
The main reason for this is, the 49ers have the best defense in all of football, and are expected to give Brady fits, especially with their pass rush. The offensive line of the Buccaneers have been far from consistent, and Nick Bosa and the crew are expected to feast in between holidays.
The thing is, the defense of the Bucs is nothing to sneeze at, and should also have a week to review the limited film on Purdy they have. This will lead to an old school knock-down, drag-out defensive struggle.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will come out on top though, due in large part to the usual late-season Brady magic, in a low-scoring affair 17-13. There is your official spoiler. Do with this information what you will quantum leapers.
