PSP's Data Driven 5* NFL Divisional Round Total of the Year

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind.

Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the over when Detroit hosts the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round on Sunday. The Lions have allowed 20 points or more in their last four games and the Bucs have scored 30 points or more in three of their last five games.

Supporting trends: Over is 7-2 in Lions last 9 games as a favorite. Over is 4-1 in Buccaneers last 5 games as a road underdog.
