The Detroit Lions are hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season, in a rematch from last year’s NFC Divisional Playoff round. Both teams are 1-0 on the season, with the Lions beating the Rams in overtime, while the Bucs dismantled the Commanders by over two touchdowns.

As of this moment, according to the folks over at Fan Duel Sportsbook, the betting line currently sits at Lions -7.5 points.

This is a big number for the Lions, but they beat the Bucs twice last season, match up well in a few key areas, and Tampa Bay is also dealing with injuries in several areas—starters on the offensive and defensive line, as well as multiple players in the secondary—that could give the Lions several advantages.
