Eight teams will begin the week in pursuit of a Super Bowl win, and two of those squads will meet at Ford Field on Sunday. The Detroit Lions will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an NFC Divisional Round matchup in the 2024 NFL playoffs and the winner will face either the Green Bay Packers or San Francisco 49ers for the conference crown next week. The No. 4 seed Bucs have won six of the last seven games, including a dominant, 23-point win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round. The No. 3 seed Lions are also rolling after the team’s first home playoff win in three decades and Detroit finished the regular season with a 12-5 overall record to win the NFC North.
Kickoff is at 3 p.m. ET in Detroit. For this game, SportsLine consensus lists the Lions as 6.5-point favorites, while the over/under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 49 in the latest Buccaneers vs. Lions odds.
