Detroit broke a thirty year plus playoff win drought last week and will be desperate to make it two straight against the plucky Bucs.
Best Bet
Detroit have already beaten Tampa Bay convincingly this season and they should comfortably account for the Bucs here.
The Bucs exceeded expectations even making the playoffs and they were entirely blessed to meet a Philly team down on energy and out of ideas last week.
Going on the road to Detroit is a much different proposition. Jared Goff is absolutely slinging it at present. The defence is the weakness of the team but they have an effective pass rush, particularly at home.
The Lions held Tampa to just six points when these sides met in October, entirely stifling the Bucs run game while Baker only completed 19 of 37 passes. The 20-6 final score flattered Tampa, who hosted that game.
Tampa have had a fairytale run, but the talent gap between these teams is too much to overcome.
Same Game Multi
The Over is 15-6 in Detroit dome games since the start of last season and the offence looks to have the advantage on both sides of the ball here. Goff passed for 353 yards when these sides met in October and Baker will be forced to throw early and often given the Bucs poor run game.
Value Bet
Bucs tight end Otton comes off a big game last week when he posted 89 yards. While he didn’t have a score, the Lions rank in the top 10 for receiving yards allowed to tight ends so he should get his opportunities here.
