Lions vs. Buccaneers: How to watch on TV, live stream, radio broadcast, betting odds and more

The Detroit Lions are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday in a game that was flexed into the 4:30 p.m. ET spot so the national audience could enjoy a battle between two first-place teams.

“Tampa’s playing good football right now, 3-1,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of the Buccaneers. “I’ve coached with (Buccaneers coach) Todd Bowles at Miami, known him a long time. I think he’s an excellent coach. He’s doing a great job out there. Playing good defense, they’re committed to the run on offense. (Buccaneers QB) Baker (Mayfield)’s playing good football. They’re plus-seven in the turnover ratio, which has been big for them. They’re converting on third down. Defensively, they’re stingy in the red zone, so we’ve got our hands full. This is a damn good opponent, so. But we’re looking forward to it, we’re looking forward to it. Our guys will be ready to go and this is day one.”
