How to watch the free Buccaneers vs. Lions live stream

The Divisional Round of the 2024 NFL Playoffs continues on Sunday afternoon as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head north to play the Detroit Lions. Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT on January 21. The game will be broadcast live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock. Mike Tirico will call the game alongside Cris Collinsworth, with Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung providing sideline reports inside Ford Field in Detroit.

Many experts did not predict the Bucs to make the postseason, let alone win a playoff game. Yet, Tampa dominated the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card Round on their way to a 32-9 victory. However, beating the Lions will not be easy. Detroit feels like a team of destiny after the Lions last week notched their first playoff win since the 1991 season.

The Lions are a 6.5-point favorite against the Buccaneers. The Lions are 7-2 at home this season. Can Detroit continue this magical run, or will the Bucs disrupt the playoffs with another win?

After two nonstop days of basketball games, 32 teams remain in the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship.
