Week 2 brings an exciting rematch to Ford Field as the Detroit Lions are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after previously defeating them in last season's playoffs. The Lions secured a 26-20 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener and are aiming for a third straight win over Tampa Bay.
The Buccaneers are coming off a significant 37-20 win over the Washington Commanders, with Baker Mayfield leading an impressive offense, including standout performances from receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. The Lions must focus on limiting these two to be successful.
On the defensive front, former Buccaneers player Carlton Davis will take on his old teammates, emphasizing a business-first approach. Both teams face injury challenges, with the Buccaneers' secondary hit hard, potentially benefiting the Lions' passing game.
Currently, the Lions have a 69% chance to secure victory in this matchup, bolstered by the advantage of playing at home in front of their fans.
