Detroit has also shown noticeable improvement on the field which has helped their value as they rank 16th overall for scoring offense and 18th for total defense. Drew Stanton got the start at quarterback last week and is likely to start again at Tampa.
The Buccaneers are 8-5 straight up and 8-4-1 with the pro football betting lines as they are coming off a 17-16 win/push at Washington last week as the Redskins botched a game tying extra point attempt at the end of regulation.
The Bucs rank 12th for scoring defense and 22nd for scoring offense. Josh Freeman, who had a rough rookie season last year, has improved to have an 87.9 QB rating with a 17/6 TD/INT ratio. Tampa Bay is in the thick of the NFC wild card race as they trail Atlanta and New Orleans in the NFC South Division race.
