Lions pass D can lose to anyone. Can’t have a glaring weakness like this as you get deeper into the playoffs.

True, but Tampa has the same glaring weakness.

Edited so link would show.
Freaking great.
Now, we had a member capping the 2006 or 2007 Motor City bowl for weather.
We also had a weather capper back in the day as well.

Seems like every Lions game is ripe for a Lions ML. but against them ATS. Nothing seems to come easy

It’s the point of where the focus should be.
Exactly.
Campbell is more than fine with it.
I just don't care for it. Maybe one? But this is basically two straight days dedicated to your next move.
That was their strategy back in October.
That didn't work great.
Both teams WAY different from that day though.
Detroit had so many injuries.
TB just a different team now.

But I sure do not think 253.5 was a crazy number.
Oh, I don't either.
Detroit secondary is the weakness.
Detroit now a TD fav or close to it. That sets up for Underdog to need to pass in 2h at least.

Had to chase Evans props after last week and a lot of it is because of this. Even though they should have cashed if he catches a simple pass this game sets up much better for yards through the air than last week did for Tampa

My man @HUNT concurs.
Early in year bucs were weirdly overvalued and hot picks vs teams like the eagles and lions for doing nothing ..I guess beating Vikings and bears meant alot at the time...ppl jumped all over the bucs
Then they fell short and the entire season sharps concurred the bucs just aren't that good
NOW....we are back to bucs are some scary value team again
The tea leaves don't add up on this one imo.....this is not a packers momentum hot streak....literally 2 games ago they couldn't score on panthers....3 games ago handled by the saints....and last week we'll the eagles may not have beaten the Panthers with their cold streak
My hunch is we have inflation on the bucs undeserved. ...that said it's hard to lay points with Detroit....but in fact they have covered laying points many times this year
The running game is completely one sided

Good stuff.
That 1st game doesn't tell much for this one.
So many injuries.
With that being said, I have confidence in Lions passing game. I think we see a lot of short move the chains stuff early.
More in a bit.
if we see regression/progression to mean from first game.......tampa should have better success throwing (and i expect less 1st and 2nd down run calls).......but the flipside which hasn't been mentioned by bettors is.......maybe detroit has more success running this game ?.........lions literally could not run on the bucs first game...i expect johnson is in on the lab
the key is the lions secondary as everyone has mentioned.......the bucs pass game has been so inconsistent, i don't believe this is as bad a matchup as stafford/mcvay
Well, we don't have good data on Lions run game in Tampa.
Why?
Gibbs sat out.
His breakout wasn't for a another week anyways.
Also, Montgomery was injured DURING the game. He left before halftime after 6 carries.
didn't remember that - of course i'm more of a rb plug and play type guy and oline does more of the work....but it can matter....i didn't see many holes that game tho
In general the lions ol - insanely talented - seems rather high variance at times in the run game.......such as rams first half to second half............i have an expectation they should just be dominating and sometimes it just doesn't happen
They should be.
One thing with this staff the 2h of the year, they tend to get away from the running game too quick.
Weird to me, because early in the year they really established this pounding style prior to the first TB game.
Packers on Turkey Day
Saints in NOLA 2h
Bears in Chicago
Last week.
All games I feel like they forgot the run at times.
yes....detroit fairly dominated ...at same time first tampa possession they had a deep shot to evans that was like a tip pick....some other opportunities missed. As it relates to the total , many expecting over but i can't do it with such a low output game 1
not sure what to make of the rematch caps - ala browns/texans , eagles/bucs seems to be the loser wins ----- but the eagles were fading big time here end of year lions are not
these hotshot oc's like to outhink themselves sometimes.......and johnson is a great one, but the word genius and falling in love with the pass seems to be an association i don't agree with .......lions need some more outside type or creative runs.....if the power runs are stopped, they don't seem to have anything else to fall back too
I lean under.
27-20 been my prediction all week.
2h with more scoring than 1st I think.
I can also see a 13-7 type halftime... lions score and Baker gets wild in a hostile environment throws some untimely stuff.
Then 30-14 kind of final perhaps.
Either way, lean under for sure.

Coaches (head coaches) are fine with it.
Ben isn't expected to be back next year.
He's a HC.
I just hate the timing.

I hate the timing of this BS ...Shouldn't be able to hire a coach until after the SB ...Especially now with the draft pushed back.. Just my opinion, but money talks , nothing would suprise me , like a coordinator not really giving 110% if he was paid not to ..
