Final Score Prediction
Back in October, these same two teams played in Tampa Bay with the Lions walking away with a 20-6 victory. But were those teams REALLY the same as they are now? The Buccaneers are certainly playing better football, but the Lions are also very different as they were without Jahmyr Gibbs, Brian Branch, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson for that game, not to mention, David Montgomery was injured after just six touches. Folks, Ford Field is going to be LOUD LOUD on Sunday afternoon, and, let’s face it, this Lions team is on a freaking mission!
Detroit Lions 31, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20
