Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form
Tampa Bay head to Detroit for this playoff game on the back of their sixth win in their last seven games.
The Buccaneers’ season looked to be falling apart when they lost six times in a seven-game run after the bye week to fall to 4-7.
However, in a poor NFC South they were not out of the postseason mix and produced a strong run from the start of December to make it to the postseason.
Tampa Bay won five times in six games, including a 34-20 victory at Green Bay, and that saw them into the playoffs.
The Buccaneers then made straightforward work of their Wildcard game, blowing out last season’s beaten Super Bowl team, Philadelphia, 32-9.
Detroit Lions Form
Detroit come into this Divisional round matchup on the back of their first playoff victory for 32 years.
The Lions made an early statement when they visited defending champions Kansas City on opening night and knocked off the Chiefs, 21-20.
They lost their second outing, but rebounded in strong fashion by winning seven of their next eight games to put themselves on course of the postseason.
Detroit stumbled late in the season as they lost to division rivals Green Bay and Chicago, but they were able to secure playoff football with three wins in their final four games.
The Lions then ended their playoff drought with a 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the Wildcard round last weekend.
Verdict
Detroit shut down Tampa Bay during the regular season and this time they have home advantage.
With Ford Field rocking, we expect Dan Campbell’s team to take down the Buccaneers for a second time.
