Tampa Bay came from behind by 17 points twice, and Tom Brady brought back terrible memories of the 2017 Super Bowl to Atlanta fans as the Buccaneers came away with 31-27 victory on Sunday. They didn't cover the 6-point spread, however, and the Buccaneers are just 3-4 ATS their last seven games, yet they're laying double digits in this one. Detroit interim head coach Darrell Bevell will not be at the game due to COVID protocols. Tampa Bay is currently in the sixth spot in the NFC playoffs and the Lions will be playing the spoiler role. QB Matthew Stafford is questionable with broken ribs and a torn thumb and Chase Daniels will get the start if Stafford doesn't. Tampa Bay has not covered its last four games following a win and the Bucs are just 1-9-1 ATS their last 11 Saturday games. Also, Tampa Bay is 3-10 ATS the last 13 meetings with Detroit and this is a flat spot in the schedule for the Buccaneers. Take the big points with the Lions.
