Analysis: The Buccaneers have been making an art out of winning ugly this, season, but that trend may end here. The rested Lions are coming off a bye and although the Buccaneers are far and away the better defensive team, I like the Lions to win this game because of its wide-open offense. Take the Lions to win this game the hairs of their chinny-chin-chins.
