The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played with an underdog mentality all year. It seems like they’ll have no problem evoking that against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The Bucs were also underdogs against the Philadelphia Eagles at home, and they proceeded to soundly defeat them 32-9 — even then, though, a Bucs pick among experts and pundits was not uncommon. Here, though, Tampa Bay is traveling to Detroit into a fervent home-field advantage, and most pickers on the internet don’t like their odds. The Lions are overwhelming favorites, so the Bucs would have to pull quite the upset to make it to the NFC Championship game.
