San Francisco 49ers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 10 game

The San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers find themselves in very similar situations heading into Week 10. Both teams have four wins, are currently in second-place in their divisions, and have suffered tough losses to their divisional foes in first. They’ve also both suffered a myriad of injuries to their star skill position players and both teams have taken losses at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs.

There is one key difference between these teams though. The 49ers are coming off a bye, while the Buccaneers just played on Monday Night Football. The 49ers should be well-rested, while the Bucs might be more banged up than usual, getting one fewer day to recover.

With both teams missing key players, like Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk on the 49ers’ side as well as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin on the Bucs’ side, you’d think both teams would be struggling on offense. However, both teams rank top-ten in points per play.

Here are our experts’ predictions for this Week 10 showdown.

NFL Week 10 odds, predictions and picks

Lorenzo Reyes: 49ers 28, Buccaneers 20

The Buccaneers play up to elite competition, with the top strength of victory (.647) — or the combined winning percentage of teams Tampa has defeated. The Bucs, in fact, are the only team above .600 in that stat. But the 49ers are coming off a bye week, and one they needed to heal up. Frankly, I can see this going both ways and would likely look elsewhere for a safer play, but given the extra rest — and the fact that Tampa has a slightly shorter week after playing Monday night — I’ll cautiously back the Niners.

Tyler Dragon: 49ers 25, Bucs 21

Will Christian McCaffrey make his season debut this week? San Francisco is coming off a Week 9 bye. While the Bucs are playing on a short week. The 49ers know they need to start performing better if they want to reclaim top status in the NFC West. San Francisco should win this game whether McCaffrey plays or not.

Richard Morin: 49ers 28, Buccaneers 27

San Francisco desperately needs to get going, but it won’t be an easy task on the road in Tampa Bay. I think the 49ers pull out the win, but the 5.5-point spread is a bit much for me.

Jordan Mendoza: 49ers 23, Buccaneers 16

Could Christian McCaffrey actually play? He’ll make an immediate difference and get San Francisco back to being solidified contenders.

California voters in San Francisco County are deciding on a host of local races and measures.

The biggest race is for mayor, with incumbent London Breed trying to fend off a host of challengers in the ranked-choice race. They include former interim mayor Mark Farrell, Levi Strauss heir and city hall outsider Daniel Lurie, and two members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors — board president Aaron Peskin and former labor organizer Ahsha Safaí.

There are also six seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in play as well as the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office and the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office, with recalled DA Chesa Boudin replacement Brooke Jenkins running to retain her job against Ryan Khojasteh, a prosecutor she fired.

Another race to watch is the highly-contested battle over the future of the Great Highway between Lincoln Way and Sloat Boulevard. Proposition K would permanently ban automobile traffic along the two-mile stretch of the Upper Great Highway, creating a new park and opening the roadway to cyclists and joggers as is currently done on weekends.

Here are all the contests, with results updated in real time.

San Francisco Giants Free Agent Ace Projected to Land $100 Million Deal

San Francisco Giants Free Agent Ace Projected to Land 0 Million Deal

The San Francisco Giants have been well-known this century for their big-time left-handed starting pitchers.

From Barry Zito to Madison Baumgarner to Blake Snell, the torch has been passed from ace to ace with seemingly no end in sight.

That is until Snell triggered the opt-out clause in the contract that he signed with the club last offseason after proving to the baseball world that he is legit and not someone who has good seasons every once in a while.

It has been a ride for the ace throughout his career, suiting up for three teams (so far) and performing better at each stop than he did in his last.

Snell has been named an All-Star once in his career, but has won the Cy Young Award twice, once in the American League and once in the National League, and has done so in dominating fashion.

The lefty is a groundball pitcher by trade, but a strikeout artist at heart, carrying a career K/9 of 11.2 through his nine years in Major League Baseball, an all-time high mark for any pitcher to ever play the sport.

It is the strikeouts that will land Snell a new deal in free agency this winter, while the groundball induction will keep him consistent, depending on the defense behind him.

In a recent article for The Athletic, Tim Britton took a crack at projecting the contracts that the top available free agents will garner this winter, with Snell projected to land a four-year, $110 million deal.

This comes as a surprise with his track record of dominance, as the last deal that Snell signed was for $23.5 million, so this projection from Britton has the ace opting out to only get a $4 million raise.

Snell’s contract should come much closer to the $30 million mark, if not hit that mark on the nose, as he is one of the best available pitchers on the market this year, and could help the rotation of any contending team.

While the Giants do have an ample amount of room on their payroll to land the ace with either figure, they need more than just one ace to remain competitive in the National League West, which could be the second-best division in baseball and may be better suited splitting that money up among multiple younger players.

It will be an interesting winter for more than just San Francisco with Snell now available to take his talents anywhere.
