Our staff provides their predictions and analysis as the Buccaneers return to action against the Lions.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back in action following an early BYE week. Through four games, the Buccaneers have proven to be one of the surprises of the 2023 NFL season but they'll have to keep trending in the right direction to continue proving the national media wrong.Tampa Bay will put its 3-1 record and top spot in the NFC South up to the test on Sunday afternoon when the Detroit Lions travel to Raymond James Stadium. This contest was flexed to the 4:25 p.m.
That could provide a big boost on an offense that is still struggling to consistently find room on the ground. Quarterback Baker Mayfield's ability to take care of the football and produce on third down will be paramount against the Lions. He'll need Evans and fellow standout Chris Godwin to have success in a matchup with a talented secondary.
Mayfield is elusive and he’s shown that to start the season but Aiden Hutchinson is a different animal from Detroit. His motor doesn’t stop and Tampa Bay’s offensive line needs to understand that and know the play doesn’t stop until the whistle. This matchup will feature one of the best offenses in the NFL going up against one of the best defenses in the NFL, which is sure to be a fan favorite across the league this weekend.
If the Buccaneers are able to shut down the Lions run game - limiting the Lions to more passing downs - they should be able to come away with perhaps the biggest game of the year when it comes to the NFC conference picture. Give me the Buccaneers in this one on Creamsicle in a close battle.Coming out of the bye week healthy is huge for this Buccaneers team. Sitting at 3-1 they are currently a top of the NFC South and one of the better teams in the NFC.
