Thats right the DETROIT LIONS Is my upset pick of the week they play the Tampa bay Bucs this week in their season opener . The Lions had alot of trouble last season with teams that featured a mobile quarterback an up tempo passing game and a dynamic power runner and the BUCS have all three . Josh Freeman is a mobile quarterback and LaGarette Blount is in fact a dynamic power runner .Last season the Lions was able to slow down Josh Freeman but the Buc's just unleashed Blount on them who put a hurting on the Lion's . This will be a test for the Lion's revamped linebacker crew , they now have more speed in the middle and in the flats and should be able to close faster on the short routes effectively . The Bucs should have a hard time running the ball on the Lions which will devistate the Buc's gameplan and force Freeman to throw more than he would like to . On offense the Lions will get it moving quick if Stafford can get the ball to Pro Bowl wide reciever Calvin Johnson . The Lions have alot of weapons on offense with Stafford , C Johnson , Brandon Petitgrew , Jahvid Best also the Lions just signed Washington Redskins Keiland Williams to the roster which will help the depth of the offense .
