The 2024/25 season of the most popular sport in the North American territory, American football, is already underway with the NFL. Now, all the teams have started their journey to fight for the Vince Lombardi trophy at the next Super Bowl in February 2025.
It is too early to define which team is emerging as the favorite to be champion. However, we cannot leave aside the Kansas City Chiefs, who have raised the trophy for the last two seasons.
Likewise, we have teams like the 49ers, Lions, Cowboys, Dolphins, Bills, and Buccaneers, who are ready to make their mark.
Now, in week 2 of the NFL season, we will have a great game between the Detroit Lions and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Why Bet on the Lions?
The Lions will look to replicate or even improve upon last season’s Divisional Round win over the Buccaneers in this week 2. At that time, the Lions posted a 31-23 victory, which led them to the Conference Championship, where they subsequently lost to the 49ers 31-34.
Now, in this season opener, Detroit got off to a great start with a stellar 26-20 home win over the Rams. In that game, Jared Goff shined by throwing 18 passes in 28 attempts for 217 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. In addition, David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs combined for 131 yards in carries and two touchdowns, one each.
Why Bet on the Buccaneers?
On the other hand, Tampa Bay will want to avenge their loss to the Lions in the Divisional Round game last season, there is no doubt about that.
The Buccaneers have had a great team in the last few games and have been decisive in some seasons. However, they need to be more vertical in their pursuit of victories, especially in the postseason.
Tampa Bay started this season with an excellent victory over the Washington Commanders by 37-20. In this game, Baker Mayfield threw for 24/30 in passes, 280 yards, and four touchdowns, clearly demonstrating that the Tampa Bay game has to go through him at all times.
