The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a good preseason as they went 3-1, and they will be looking to translate some of that success under 1st-year coach Bruce Arians as they are in one of the toughest divisions in football. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did nothing special on either side of the ball to show improvement as they ranked in the bottom 15 in both points scored and points allowed.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will start QB Jameis Winston who was solid in his preseason action as he connected on 16 of his 29 pass attempts for a total of 152 yards and a TD. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers needed to upgrade their defense this offseason as they were amongst the worst in the NFL last season, and they made the necessary moves by adding Ndamukong Suh and rookie LB Devin White.

Free Betting Pick: San Francisco 49ers +1
I think the San Francisco 49ers have the potential to be a playoff team as they have a young offensive mastermind in Kyle Shanahan as well as a franchise QB in Jimmy Garoppolo. The 49ers have continuously made moves to surround Garoppolo with weapons, and I think they will shred a defense that has not yet shown change under Arians. The 49ers strength on the defensive side of the ball is their defensive line, and I think the key to victory here will be to get enough pressure on Winston as he is known for committing turnovers. Final Score Prediction, San Francisco 49ers win and cover ATS 31-28.
