The Lions are coming into this game with a 4-1 record this season and they have been playing very well recently with 3 straight wins but they have also played some of the weaker teams in the NFL in that span. Their last 3 games have been against the Falcons, the Packers, and the Panthers who are bottom half teams in the NFL. Now they will be on the road and they are going up against a Buccaneers team that has also been playing well at 3-1 this season. They are coming off of a big divisional win in their last game as they beat the Saints 26-9 on the road and now they will be at home coming out of their bye week with some confidence in their game. The Buccaneers have a very good defense this season as they have been shutting down teams through the air and on the ground so Jared Goff is not going to have it as easy as he has in his last 3 games. The Buccaneers will also be able to move the ball through the air on this Lions defense and this whole team has something to prove this year as they play every game with a chip on their shoulder. The Buccaneers are going to win this game straight up at home as they try to prove themselves as a force in the NFC. The Buccaneers will cover the spread in this game.
