THE PREDICTION

Tampa Bay Buccaneers made it back-to-back wins as they produced a brilliant come-from-behind victory over Atlanta Falcons last week and they now have one foot in the play-offs. Despite trailing 7-24 in the third quarter, the Bucs fought back to snatch the win in a second half that they dominated as they progressed to 9-5 and they just need to win one of their final two matches of the regular season to make sure of their spot in the post-season. They will be on a high after that effort but they cannot become complacent as they take on Detroit Lions who will fancy their chances of causing an upset. The Lions have done well on offense in their three matches since sacking Matt Patricia and while they are still struggling defensively, they can keep things tight enough here to benefit from a +9.5 start on the spread in a contest that should produce over 53 points.
