After winning game No. 10 on the season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they have a new test in front of them.
Following an impressive 32-9 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, a trip to Detroit is next for Tampa Bay. The Lions will host the Buccaneers on Sunday at 3:00 p.m. ET.
Tampa Bay is in the same boat that they were in the wild card. The Bucs will once again be underdogs in the second weekend of the playoffs. According to FanDuel, the Lions are a -6 favorite to defeat the Buccaneers.
Detroit won their first playoff game in decades against the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card. The Lions defeated their old quarterback, Matthew Stafford, by a 24-23 margin.
Mayfield and the Buccaneers’ offense will have an indoor stadium to work in against Detroit, so there is no worry about weather. On the other side of the ball, the defense is going to have to bring it because the Lions’ offense has the potential to score a lot of points.
The total of points is set at 48.5, so there is expected to be plenty of offensive fireworks in this one. It may take another 300-yard performance with three touchdowns for Baker Mayfield against Detroit to win. Still, oddsmakers have the Bucs as just about a touchdown underdog.
