Detroit Lions vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers divisional round: Prediction, odds, picks

The Detroit Lions are the favorites, expected to win by at least a field goal but less than a touchdown (currently -6.5), in their NFC Playoffs matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The total for this one is set at 48.5 points.

The Lions have had a magical season thus far, winning their first division title since 1993 and their first playoff win since 1991 with their 24-23 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round. 

Meanwhile, the Buccaneers have surprised many as well, winning six of their last seven games, capturing the NFC South and dispatching the Philadelphia Eagles 32-9 in Super Wild Card Weekend. 

Here’s everything you need to know about the matchup between the Buccaneers and Lions — the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and an expert pick from our betting analyst Will Hill.

Lions vs. Buccaneers Prediction & Pick

Pick ATS: Detroit (-6.5) Pick OU: Under (48.5) Prediction: Detroit 26 – Tampa Bay 19 

Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Will Hill

The Detroit Lions in the NFC Title Game?! It feels funny to write those words, but I think that’s what we’re looking at. 

These teams met Week 6 in Tampa and the Lions stymied the Bucs, holding them to just 13 first downs en route to a 20-6 victory. 

Now we flip venues, as the Bucs will have to deal with the deafening crowd noise in Detroit as well as the fact that it’s a short week having played on Monday night vs. the Eagles. 

I think the Lions will win this one by double digits. I’m laying the points here.

PICK: Lions (-6) to win by more than 6 points
