A brutally difficult first half of the season will come to a merficul end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after Sunday, when the Bucs face the San Francisco 49ers in Tampa. 

Just six days after being on national television in a 30-24 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bucs will be before a large audience once again.  Per 506Sports.com, the game will be seen by fans on both coasts, with Buccaneer legend Tom Brady set to call the action with his FOX broadcast partner Kevin Burkhardt. 

Fans throughout most of Florida, the Carolinas, the mid-Atlantic, and New York will get the game.  Texas/Oklahoma, the Southwest, West Coast, and Pacific Northwest are also set to get the contest.  Even Alaska and Hawaii will get the game locally.  

As such, many fans across the country will get to see the Bucs attempt to avoid losing their fourth straight game and fifth in their last six amid a brutal stretch of games.  Since defeating Philadelphia 33-16 back on September 29, the Bucs have had faced first place teams in four of their five games since, losing all four.  

Now, they'll get a shot at going into their bye week on a good note when they take on the defending NFC champion 49ers, who have looked like a far different team this season at 4-4.  However, they're still a talented group despite being without offensive stars Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk, the former of whom could be back this weekend.  Vegas currently likes the Niners as well, installing them as a 5.5-point favorite on the road. 

The Bucs and Niners kick off at 1:00 pm ET on Sunday from Raymond James Stadium.
