00:00 This weekend, the Detroit Lions will travel to Tampa Bay
00:02 for a matchup against the Buccaneers.
00:04 Here today to preview that game
00:06 is SIL Alliance, John Macron.
00:08 John, give me your thoughts on the game
00:10 and how it looks for the Detroit Lions in this one.
00:13 - Yeah, Cameron, real interesting.
00:14 A four and one Detroit Lions team
00:16 facing off against a three and one division leading
00:19 Tampa Bay Buccaneer squad.
00:20 I think this game has the potential to be very close.
00:23 The NFL really looked at this contest
00:26 and felt like the country needed to see it.
00:27 Flexing the game into 425,
00:30 expanding the markets that we'll get an opportunity
00:32 to see this contest.
00:34 I'm really interested to see how the Lions offense
00:37 is gonna match up against the defense of Todd Bowles.
00:40 Obviously an experienced head coach.
00:42 The defense has been stout against the run
00:45 for the most part this season for the Buccaneers.
00:47 Obviously the Eagles had an opportunity
00:49 to have some success, but for the Detroit Lions,
00:52 it's gonna be give the ball to David Montgomery
00:55 and hope that he can continue the run
00:57 that he's been on coming off of a stellar performance
01:00 against the Panthers.
01:01 I see this game being back and forth.
01:03 It'll be interesting to see how both the quarterbacks
01:06 do play Baker Mayfield, having a career resurgence,
01:09 having some weapons, the returning Mike Evans
01:11 potentially for the Buccaneers.
01:13 That's gonna make things difficult for the Lions secondary.
01:16 But Cameron, when you look at this contest,
01:19 it has the feel of a tight playoff game.
01:22 When you look at some of the key factors,
01:23 I think it's gonna boil down to the trenches.
01:26 Can Aiden Hutchinson break through again and wreak havoc?
01:29 Can the defensive line win some battles?
01:31 Can the Lions offensive line
01:33 that is dealing with some injuries,
01:35 can they forge their path through
01:37 and really find a way to open up lanes
01:41 for Craig Reynolds and David Montgomery?
01:43 And then it all boils down to David Montgomery
01:46 and Jared Goff.
01:47 I think if those two key players
01:49 can have a really successful game,
01:50 I think it bodes well for the Detroit Lions.
01:52 I think this contest is gonna be close,
01:54 but I do see the Lions leaving Tampa Bay
01:56 and Raymond James Stadium with the victory.
01:59 - John, I need Mike Evans to perform well
02:00 and get me some fantasy points this weekend,
02:02 but I agree, I see the Lions winning as well.
02:05 Thanks for all the insight.
