Tampa Bay beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-19 in Week 6 while covering as a 3-point favorite with the Over (47.5) hitting. The Buccaneers lost the total yards battle and let the Niners go 7-of-16 on third down, but it was Tampa's 2-0 win in the turnover battle combined with the 49ers' 9 penalties for 65 yards that secured the win for Tampa. The Buccs have put up at least 30 points in back-to-back weeks.

Detroit was handed a 30-17 loss by the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football in Week 6 while failing to cover as a 2.5-point underdog as the Under (52.5) cashed. The Lions let the Chiefs go 4-for-6 in the red zone while also letting up 355 total yards and 26 first downs. The Lions have put up at least 30 points in all of their 4 wins this season, but have been held to 17 points or less in their 2 losses.

The Lions lead the all-time series 33-30, but lost the last season 20-16 at home. The Lions are 0-4 at home in their last 4 regular-season matchups against the Bucs..

Buccaneers at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 37, Buccaneers 34

Moneyline

PASS.

I slightly lean toward the Lions to pick up the win here as the home team, but with both teams being so injured this game could really go either way. Futhermore, no team is ever worth the risk of backing on the ML as a -285 favorite, so pass here and bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET BUCCANEERS +6 (-110).

In spite of all of Tampa Bay's injuries and its tough schedule, the Bucs have still only lost 1 game and that loss was by just 6 points to the defending Super Bowl Champions. The Lions are a good team, but they have not proven that they can beat a team as good as this Tampa team is by at least a touchdown, especially not with all of their injuries heading into the week.

Look for Detroit to win this game, but for Tampa's offense to keep this game close.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 52.5 (-110).

Because the Lions have been so dominant offensively in wins, averaging 40.2 points per game (PPG), and because the Bucs put up 27.5 PPG, the Over is safer here. Furthermore, both of these defenses are mediocre at best as the Lions give up 23.7 PPG while Tampa allows 25.2.

Finally, the Over is 4-0 in Tampa's last 4 games and is 3-2 in Detroit's last 5 contests.

With Tampa Bay missing so many key offensive pieces, there is the risk that its offense won't have the explosiveness needed to keep up its streak of smashing the over.
