Detroit has become gripped with Lions fever and you can get hot with our BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS, which offers a $158 bonus with a first wager of $5 or more on the Lions vs. Bucs Divisional Round Sunday at Ford Field.

BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS: How to claim your $158 bonus for Lions vs. Bucs

The Lions won their first playoff game in 32 years over the Rams in the Wild Card round, ending the longest playoff losing streak in NFL history at nine games. Detroit is led by a dominating offensive line and has the best 1-2 combo of running backs remaining in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

In Tampa, Baker Mayfield is up to his old tricks, hobbling one minute and celebrating touchdowns the next. The fourth-seeded Bucs are the underdog but have nothing to lose in this one.

Football fans know they’re in for a good one. New players at BetMGM can earn a special bonus by making a first wager of $5 or more on the Bucs-Lions match-up.

BetMGM bonus code ALBONUS: Lions vs. Bucs Divisional Round preview, odds, best BetMGM promotions

This is the first time the Lions have been in the Divisional Round since 1992. They are 1-2 in this round in the Super Bowl era, while Tampa is 4-3 in this round all-time.

Grit is definitely the Lions’ buzzword, but the secret is a dominating offensive line led by Pro Bowler Penei Sewell. The Lions offense finished the regular season fifth in points and third in yards.

Emotionally the Bucs might catch the Lions in a bit of a let-down. Tampa went 9-8 in the regular season but closed strong, finishing 6-1 in their last seven games. Mayfield is playing with bad ribs and a bad ankle, but you’d swear that’s just the way he likes it. Bucs running back Rachaad White is underrated as a two-way threat and the Bucs are +8 in turnover differential.

BetMGM has the Lions as 6.5-point favorites with the Bucs +220 on the moneyline and the total pegged at 48.5.

The King of Sportsbooks has pre-built parlays open like the Lions moneyline, the over, and a Gibbs TD at +280. There are also head-to-head markets on which wide receiver will have more yards, Amon-Ra St. Brown or Mike Evans, and over/under passing totals on Mayfield (253.5) and Jared Goff (275.5).

The Bucs and Lions each are 12-6 against the spread this season, but Tampa Bay has covered the spread in eight of its last nine road games.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. It’s the most expensive ticket of the weekend at Ford Field. NBC will have the broadcast on your favorite screen.
