00:00For the first time in the 2024 NFL season, Christian McCaffrey will grace the field for
00:09the San Francisco 49ers, of course, was dealing with Achilles tendonitis in both of his legs.
00:15That just sounds painful and bad.
00:18He missed the opening eight games of the year for San Francisco.
00:22But after the bye for the 49ers, he is back in practice and Kyle Shanahan telling reporters
00:27yesterday that CMC is back, expected to make his season debut Sunday in Florida against
00:34the Buccaneers.
00:35Joe, the line earlier this week was five and a half in favor of San Francisco updated on
00:40this football Friday morning.
00:41It is now six and a half in favor of the Niners running backs do not often move the market
00:47at all long term or short term on a week to week basis.
00:51In terms of a spread, Christian McCaffrey might be the only one that would move the
00:56spread a point.
00:57It is six and a half now in favor of the 49ers, 50 and a hook.
01:01Is that total in Tampa?
01:03How do you see the game playing out between the 49ers and the Buccaneers?
01:08Not good for Tampa.
01:09I'll tell you that.
01:12Just thinking.
01:13But again, look at the injury reports for the first time this season, Ben.
01:16I do think the Niners are about as healthy as they have been, including the ability to
01:21be able to get Christian McCaffrey back to make his season debut.
01:26Now, this is, if I'm not mistaken, Ben, the only thing is that this is going to be a early
01:32start for a West Coast team if you buy into something along those lines.
01:37However, I do think that they are going to get right.
01:41And we've seen this from the 49ers, right?
01:44This is a team that in the second half of seasons usually kicks it into another gear
01:50to the tune of an NFL best 23 and four in the second half of the season.
01:55That is weeks 10 through 18 since 2021.
01:59They get right.
02:00They fit.
02:01They get healthy.
02:02They figure it out.
02:03And then from week 10 on, they cruise.
02:06And unfortunately, I would love to have seen Tampa have their full compliment.
02:10But even Baker Mayfield is on the questionable list as he is banged up beyond all have to.
02:16So what happens if Kyle Trask has got to be the quarterback?
02:20This five and a half feels like a like a gift if that's the case.
02:23So I just think it's going to be a whole lot of 49ers and it's unfortunate for the Tampa
02:29Bay Bucs.
