Lions vs. Bucs Free Pick
The Tampa Bay Bucs’ playoff hopes are still very much alive but they can’t afford a letdown this Sunday when they host the Detroit Lions in Week 15. Continue reading for picks, odds and more on this NFL matchup.
According to Week 15 NFL odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the Bucs are 5.5-point favorites against the Lions on Sunday. The over/under total for this game is currently 43.5 points.
The Lions improved to 3-10 with a shocking win over the Packers last Sunday and are now 9-4 against the spread. They’re 0-6 on the road this year, however, and are just 3-3 against the spread away from Ford Field.
The Bucs notched their eighth victory of the season last Sunday but failed to cover the spread and are now 8-4-1 ATS according to latest NFL trends. They’re 3-3 at home this season but have failed to cover in four of their six games at Raymond James Stadium.
NFL Week 15 Free Pick:
The Lions have fought hard all season and we think that trend will continue this weekend. The Bucs are fighting for a playoff berth in the NFC, which means the pressure is on them. The Lions are 6-1 against the spread in the last seven meetings between these two teams and 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Tampa Bay. The underdog is also 5-2 against the number in the last seven meetings between these two teams and the Bucs are just 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games. For whatever reason, the young Bucs seem to play better on the road and more closely contested games at home. There’s a chance Shaun Hill could return this weekend, which would be big for Detroit coaching staff that clearly doesn’t trust Drew Stanton in the passing game. Our pick is the Lions +5.5.
