Detroit Lions Vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Football Preview - 09-15-2024
The 2024 NFL season opens up with a rematch of last season's Divisional Round playoff game between Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meeting again Sunday at Ford Field and with plenty of playoff ramifications for both clubs. Here's a preview of this matchup's odds and betting trends.
After an inauspicious 2023 season, the Detroit Lions made a strong opening statement against Los Angeles Rams with a 26-20 win at home - won after dramatic overtime period where David Montgomery scored the game-winner to secure it! They will look to keep this momentum rolling against Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Even though their win was impressive, Detroit's defense allowed for too many yards through the air this season - giving up an average of 299 passing yards per game and ranking 23rd in the NFL. Yet even with its defensive woes, Detroit has still managed to produce 28 points per game on offense this season, ranking 13th overall.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicked off the 2024 season in style, defeating Washington Commanders by 37-20 at home behind Baker Mayfield's 289 yard and four touchdown performance against Jayden Daniels of Washington Commanders rookie quarterback. Their defense struggled against Jayden Daniels but could score goals against them; their next test will come when traveling to Detroit against Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St Brown this week.
