To start the Bucs were 10-6.

9 of those wins came against the NFC West, Cleveland, Cincy, Carolina (twice), and Washington. They were 1-5 against teams over .500, and 0-1 against the Lions at home.

Other than the Saints, their 9 other wins came against opponents with a combined 44-100 record on the season. And they played the Saints in week 17 when they had nothing to play for. They had quite possibly the easiest schedule ever.

They didn't make any offseason additions other than their draft picks.

This year the Bucs aren't as lucky as they get the NFC North instead of the NFC West, which they swept. I'm not sure they can beat any of the North teams let alone all of them.

And finally we beat them at their home with Drew Stanton starting.

We're better, they might be the same, and their same might be a mirage.

34-17 Lions
 
TB was playing without several O-linemen and D-linemen, as well as their top corner.

Even with that said, playing with Stanton and a gimped Best, was a bigger overall impact on the game. With Stafford at the helm, the entire offense changes.

TB has a rookie starting opposite Suh, and a rookie MLB. I expect Stafford to pick apart their defense. Grew and Burleson will have huge games.

If Detroit can't run the ball, then TB may win. Lions have to be multidimensional. If things play out like I think, then Lions win easily, 35-20.
 
Boom!
