The monday night football doubleheader in week 7 of the 2025 NFL season begins with a showdown between the tampa bay buccaneers and the detroit lions. With the Bucs 5-1 and the Lions 4-2, this is certainly a preview of the NFC Championship.
Let’s get into the Bucs vs Lions predictions.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Detroit Lions Odds
Money Line: Buccaneers +225 / Lions -275
Spread: Buccaneers +5.5 (-102) / Lions -5.5 (-120)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. DETROIT LIONS Best Bet #1: Lions -5.5 (-120)
Detroit is looking to bounce back from a loss to Kansas City in Week 6. Head coach Dan Campbell’s has a great opportunity to do just that, too. The Lions are 2-0 at Ford Field so far this season and have won those games by a combined score of 86-31. Their only losses have come to KC and Green Bay, the toughest places to play in the NFL; Their victories have come by a combined 76 points (19 average).
It’s true that Tampa Bay has been impressive so far this season, but a lot of this has to do with Baker Maywenfield Baingle – Bailding Short-Hliya His team in all kinds of close games. There may be nothing wrong with it, but it’s not a recipe for continued success – especially not when the competition is as tough as the Lions. The Boots have already fallen to one of the strongest opponents on their schedule, 31-25 to Philadelphia at home.
Head Coach Todd Bones Bonkes’ was very upset, too. On offense, running back Irving Irving and receiver Chris Godwin are out. Wrs Mike Evans and Emeka Egbuka are doubtful. Ols Cody Mauch and Luka Godededeke are on Injured Reserve; Ol Luka Haggard is over. On defense, look, Calijah Kancey is out the entire regular season and linebacker Lavonte davonte davonte is questionable.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Detroit Lions Player Bet: Amon-Ra St. Brown over 75.5 receiving yards (-114)
St Brown’s has surpassed this rating of 75.5 in five of its last five games. It’s a simple thing that features 100 and 115 wards. Going back to the 2024 campaign, ARSB has surpassed this number in its last five tournaments. More success has to be organized. The Bucs rank No. 21 in defensive defense (231.2 yards per game) and 2.26 in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.6).
Finally, St. Brown completely owns Tampa Bay. During the regular season last year, he hauled in 11 of 18 passes for 119 yards. The Lions and Panthers broke twice in 2023 (once in the playoffs), when St. Brown made 20 combined catches for 29 yards in 2019 and two TDs. In two home games so far this season, Detroit has been outscored 52 to 34. Of the two, St. Brown went for 16 receptions, 185 yards, and five touchdowns.
