The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 defense in yards and points allowed. Opponents are scoring just 15.8 points per game and 283.9 yards per game. However, Tampa’s defense is no slouch, allowing just 18.3 points and 313.8 yards per game.
The Bucs are 27th in scoring at just 18.1 points per game, while the 49ers are 13th at 23.5 PPG.
Tampa 49ers have time to get ready for QB Brock Purdy. The Bucs will focus on slowing down the run game and Purdy will make plays. The 49ers are 9-29 when someone other than Garoppolo starts at QB.
It’s hard to believe that Purdy QB can surpass Tom Brady, yet the 49ers are favored. This is a great underdog bet.
