Tampa Bay Bucs vs. Detroit Lions Winning Expert Picks: November 23rd 2008

Tampa Bay Bucs vs. Detroit Lions
Expert Pick: Detroit Lions +9.0 - Sunday November 23rd ‘08 1:00p

The Detroit Lions enter into this home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a ugly 0-10 record and are in jeopardy of a winless season. With that in mind , the best word to describe the Lions situation would be desperation.

The public looks at the Lions, as bottom feeders, and are not likely to back them even as 9 point home dogs. Despite of what Joe the Plumber thinks, this MoTown gridiron crew has been fairly competitive this season, covering 4 of their 10 losses, so they are not completely inept as far as veteran bettors are concerned and deserve fair consideration in this spot.

The Lions have Tennessee, Minnesota , Indianapolis, New Orleans and Green Bay left on their schedule this week, and know that this is their best chance at a getting an elusive win , and will play like it here today.

Final notes & Key Trends: Tampa Bay has failed to cover 13 of their L/16 against a lower tier team that has been out scored by 10 or more points per game.
