San Francisco 49ers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9/8/19 NFL Betting Odds and Prediction

The San Francisco 49ers take on the Tamp Bay Buccaneers on September 8, 2019, at the Raymond Jones Stadium in Tampa Bay.

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers entered last season with plenty of hype and optimism. But a series of injuries ravaged the team and they ended up in the lottery, getting the #2 pick in the 2019 NFL draft and using the pick to select defensive end Nick Bosa of Ohio State. Bosa joins newcomer Dee Ford and former first-round picks DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, and Solomon Thomas. Kwon Alexander was also added to improve their linebacking corps. On offense, the 49ers added Tevin Coleman in the backfield and drafted Jalen Hurd and Deebo Samuel to add depth at wide receiver. This isn’t a blockbuster team but a solid one which can compete for a playoff spot if they stay healthy.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the teams which had a coaching change over the summer. The Bucs hired the battle-tested Bruce Arians as their new head coach. Tampa Bay lost DeSean Jackson and Adam Humphries but they still have the likes of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and O.J. Howard. The aggressive offense of Bruce Arians should be a good move for Jameis Winston who may be in the crossroads here. Rookie Devin White could be a good replacement for Kwon Alexander at inside linebacker but no doubt, defensive coordinator Todd Bowles faces a tough task ahead for the team which ranked 27th in total defense last season.

Who Wins?

San Francisco is 3-7 SU in their last 10 games played. The 49ers are 0-4 SU in their last four games played on the road. Tampa Bay is 2-8 SU in their last 10 games played. The Buccaneers are 2-3 SU in their last five games played at home. Head to head, the 49ers are 14-6 SU in their last 20 games played against the Buccaneers.

The 49ers are 1-9 SU in their last 10 games against an opponent from the NFC conference. The Buccaneers are 3-11 SU in their last 14 games versus foes from the NFC West Division. They are also 2-8 SU in their last 10 games against the NFC conference. I think both these teams can win this game but the Buccaneers are the slight NFL betting favorites to win this matchup. However, I think Tampa Bay has more questions on defense that I need to see resolved first before I put my money on them. The main concern with San Francisco is their health but in Week 1, everybody’s expected to be healthy. I”m picking the San Francisco 49ers to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on 9/8/19.
