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.
RELATED Preview: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-3) at San Francisco 49ers (1-5)
The 49ers and Buccaneers kick off today at 1:05 p.m.

Trey Lance was the Week 1 starter but suffered a season-ending ankle injury during his second game. Eleven weeks later, Jimmy Garoppolo sustained a broken foot.
That opened the door for rookie Brock Purdy to show his coaches and the NFL world that he belonged, despite being the last overall pick in the draft. Purdy guided the 49ers to eight consecutive wins before suffering a severe injury in that NFC title game matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Two of the quarterbacks from last season—Lance and Purdy—remain. Both are just 23 years old. They are joined by Sam

The San Francisco 49ers entered the offseason with several questions after key figures, such as Jimmie Ward, Mike McGlinchey, Samson Ebukam, and Charles Omenihu, departed in free agency, creating the possibility for position battles in organized team activities(OTAs) and training camp.
