Anyone else surprised by the opening prices on this one? I'd have thought the Lions would have at least been the same price as Atlanta and Carolina were. (1.3)
The Lions seem to be built to go toe to toe with the Saints. They can't stop the pass, but who can stop Drew Brees anyway. I don't see the Lions' pass D being as big of a weakness as it otherwise would be.
Meanwhile, Detroit's O is equally difficult to stop, and it's hard to see New Orleans D being able to cover Calvin Johnson.
Looks set to be a shootout, so why is one team 1.2?
I thought the saints were very good at stopping any big plays from calvin...double team worked very well. 31-17 looks comfortable. The lions dont help themselves and the same can be said about the game in new orleans...i thought at times the lions looked as good on offence as any team..they mix it up well and have some excellent receivers apart from CJ..trouble is discipline and it has been the same all season...i dont have the stats but im sure in this game they gave up a huge amount of yards which stopped the momentum..stafford threw over 400..doesnt help when you are needing to convert 3rd and 20s through stupidity...cut this out and they could keep it close...still expect the saints to win. 1/6 is way to short against a team who can score so many pts versus any team
