Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Detroit Lions Prediction & Picks - NFL
by Bill Christy in NFL Picks
=11.0ptThe Detroit Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Saturday afternoon on Ford Field. This will be the 2nd straight home game for the Lions to start the season. In game one, they took on the visiting Los Angeles Rams this past Sunday night. They started off slow and trailed 3-0 after the 1st quarter but took a 10-3 lead into the half. After Jared Goff hit Jameson Williams to take what looked like a commanding 17-3 lead, the Rams battled back and took a late 20-17 lead. Goff led a last-minute drive and Jake Bates nailed a 32-yard field goal to send the game into OT. There, David Montgomery punched in a 1-yard touchdown to end the game on the 1st possession of overtime. The Bucs are also coming off a solid win in their opener. They controlled the game from the most part and pulled away in the 4th quarter against the Commanders. Baker Mayfield threw for nearly 300 yards and 4 touchdowns in the win. Mike Evans caught 2 to Chirs Godwin’s 1 touchdown from Mayfield. Their defense held Washington to just 2/8 on third down to put a damper on Jayden Daniels’ NFL debut.

Our Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Detroit Lions Prediction
The opening line was set for -6.5 but we have seen that line grow to -7.5 in recent days. Over 80% of the public bets are on the Bucs which alerts us to this line. Typically, when a team is being bet heavy, the line would move in the other direction. It appears the oddsmakers are enticing even more action to come in on TB which is why we are going the other way. We believe Aidan Hutchinson and company will be able to throw off the rhythm of this TB offense and give way to a Detroit cover.
Our prediction for Detroit Lions vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Detroit to cover -7.5, -110 at Draftkings.
