NFL 2025/26: Lions – Buccaneers Prediction, Stats & Odds
Baker Mayfield is currently working his magic in the Bucs’ pocket, no question about it. And yet I will be visiting a betting provider with Paysafecard with the intention of placing a Lions Buccaneers tip on the hosts.
After all, Lions head coach Dan Campbell hasn’t lost two games in a row since October 2022, and quarterback Jared Goff typically performs outstandingly at home against opposing defenses.
The Buccaneers did beat the Lions at Ford Field early last season with Baker Mayfield, but Goff had one of his most inaccurate days and threw two interceptions on top of that.
Nevertheless, the home team’s quarterback is currently in top form: he leads the NFL with a 75.9% completion rate, has thrown the most touchdown passes (14), and has the league’s best passer rating of 137.1 against the blitz.
Lions vs. Buccaneers predictions:
Not sure about covering the spread? Our Lions Bucaneers AI prediction has determined that you would be wise to reconsider – and I couldn’t agree more!
After all, the home team is usually particularly dangerous after a defeat!
In their last eleven games, in which they went into the next game as favorites despite a previous defeat, the Lions have always exceeded the respective spread and won easily in the end!
So don’t be put off by the Lions win with HC -5.5 at odds of around 1.86 in the Interwetten app!
Over 52.5 points at average odds of around 1.91 requires quite a few touchdowns, but I actually think the Bucs offense will go down fighting.
Especially since the Buccaneers’ last six games in October all ended with more points than the bookmakers had previously set in the so-called total points line.
1st touchdown: Incidentally, Jahmyr Gibbs averages five for every euro bet at Bet365 Germany and is probably the best bet for the early stages of this match.
That’s because the superstar has actually scored the first touchdown of the game in four of the last five games in which the Lions were favorites against an NFC (National Football Conference) team.
