Surprise, surprise. The San Francisco 49ers are actually favored in a game. As of Sunday morning, the 49ers are 1.5-point favorites against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who they host this afternoon at Levi's Stadium.
Until now, the 49ers have not been a favorite in any game this season. Earlier in the week, the Buccaneers were 2.5-point favorites to beat the 49ers.
RB Doug Martin (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Buccaneers. While that is good for the 49ers, San Francisco will be without Carlos Hyde (shoulder).
The 49ers have lost five-straight games and have allowed a 100-yard rusher in each of those game. The team enters their bye week following today's game.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the New York Giants in a Thursday Night Football matchup during Week 3, notching a 30-12 victory in their home opener to improve to 3-0.
San Francisco was dominant in all three areas of the field, consistently leading by two scores due to another strong offensive performance, matched by a defense that held the Giants to just 12 points overall.
Despite the short week, the 49ers earned major contributions from defensive end Nick Bosa, who recorded a sack and six pressures in only 39 snaps due to the Giants' lack of offensive plays.
Bosa's health has been an underrated factor through three weeks, as the defensive end was acclimated heavily in Week 2, playing 63 defensive snaps, which was a significant uptick from Week

Now, the 49ers are getting ready to host their season opener, and it comes in primetime, as San Francisco will play the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football at Levi's Stadium this week.

49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.
