Monday Night Football Best Bet: Lions to Defend Home Turf
In what’s sure to be a thrilling contest between two explosive offences, look for the Lions to simply be too much to handle for the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.
Coming off a disappointing performance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, look for the Lions to bounce back in a big way as they exorcise some demons at the expense of the Buccaneers.
While the Bucs have done a solid job of stopping the run in 2025, look for this trend to change as the dynamic backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have no trouble stampeding down the gridiron in order to put their team in scoring position. Additionally, the Lions’ passing game is equally as effective with standout talents such as Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown always primed for big outings in marquee matchups.
Bank on the Lions to secure the bounce-back win in a high-scoring shootout, as they use their superior firepower to outscore their opponents. At -275, the Lions are strong favourites to win, making them a safe bet to add to your bet slip ahead of Monday Night Football Week 7.
