Detroit head to Tampa Bay on a three-game win streak that has propelled them to an NFC North-leading 4-1.
The Lions sent a message to the rest of the NFL on opening night as they upset defending champions Kansas City, at Arrowhead, 21-20.
They failed to follow that up a week later, losing 37-31 in overtime at home to Seattle, but their response has been strong.
Detroit rebounded with a 20-6 home win against Atlanta, and they backed that up a week later by easing to a 34-20 victory at Green Bay.
The Lions then made it three-in-a-row last weekend as they eased to a 42-24 victory at home to Carolina.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form
Tampa Bay have been one of the surprises of the season so far, winning three of their first four games.
The Buccaneers began life without Tom Brady by beating Minnesota on the road, 20-17, in their season-opener.
They knocked off another NFC North team, Chicago, in their home opener a week later, beating the Bears 27-17.
Tampa Bay failed to make reach 3-0 as they were beaten 25-11 by Philadelphia on Monday Night Football in Week 3, but they were able to bounce back before the bye week.
The Buccaneers travelled to division rivals New Orleans and comfortably beat the Saints, 26-9, to edge ahead at the top of the NFC South.
Verdict
Detroit are the better team and are playing better football, but Tampa cannot be written off.
They have played solid football in all areas this season and are capable of pushing the Lions to the limit here.
