Betting on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What could have been a heartbreaking loss for the Buccaneers turned into an inspiring win after Tom Brady and company turned a 13-point deficit around with less than five minutes left on the clock.
Tampa Bay’s offensive problems were on full display Monday night against the Saints, as they went into the final minutes of the fourth quarter with just three points scored. Incredibly, the Bucs are the sixth-lowest scoring team on the year with 266 points and have the seventh-worst yards per play average at 5.0.
This team’s biggest issue is that they have one of the worst ground attacks in the league, with only 879 yards and four touchdowns, making them the only ones without 1,000 yards (and with the worst rushing TD record).
On the defensive side, things change radically as they are one of the best teams in the circuit. The 219 points conceded are the fifth fewest in the league, they allow the sixth fewest yards per play with an average of 5.0, opponents have managed only 210 first downs against them, the second fewest in the league, and they are fourth in catches with 38.
Betting on the San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers were dealt a tough blow last Sunday after Jimmy Garoppolo went out with an injury that will keep him out seven to eight weeks. San Francisco currently leads the NFC West and will now have to leave everything in the hands of rookie Brock Purdy.
This team’s defense, which is ranked among the top three in the circuit, is its heart and soul. San Francisco has given up the fewest points this season (190), the fewest yards overall (3,407), the fewest first downs (196), and the third-fewest passing touchdowns (11).
Because of this performance, the offense is only required to do an above-average job in order to pull out the wins, something that could now be a little more difficult with Purdy at the helm. However, the 49ers have a myriad of offensive weapons that could keep the team afloat despite not being on par with the best offenses on the circuit. Undoubtedly, this is a devastating loss for a team that was expected to achieve great things in the NFC.
JefeBet Prediction
The point line for this game is incredibly low, but this is to be expected when two of the league’s top defenses square off in a matchup as significant as next Sunday’s contest.
Tom Brady hasn’t been the same as usual this year, and Tampa Bay has only scored more than 21 points twice. For their part, San Francisco will be watching to see how Brody adjusts to an offense with star players that hasn’t been very successful this year.
Prediction: Under (TB 17 – SF 20).
