Millionaires---Detroit
The Lions are definitely out. A ten-fold miracle is needed for the Saints. Which means they're playing dead to the playoffs also. Detroit has responded better in their past five games. Lions QB Stafford has been much better in the past five games after a disappointing opening eight games. Before the bye, Stafford had thrown 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Since then, he's thrown another 11 touchdowns to just two interceptions. Games like this are played to serve 40% of the players a shot at making a roster next season. Stafford should continue to be impressive against the Saints. There's no reason with the talent on this team not to have an easy win. The Saints pass defense is the worst in the league, and this is pretty much indisputable. Every quarterback has thrown for a passer rating of 80 or more, and each opponent has either matched or surpassed their yearly average at QB ranking. Forget about Calvin Johnson highlights tonight, Theo Reddick will be the heading up Sports Center. The Lions have also doubled their rushing attack having four straight games of rushing for over 100 yards. Note that the Saints run defense is on that negative par with their pass defense. Drew Bree's can still light up the Saints offense. But they may be going up against a better than you think secondary in the Lions. Detroit has allowed under 200 net passing yards in four of their past six game. In the year if the passer, that is a great stat. Look for the Lions to dominate on both sides of the ball for an outright win. Throw away the points and bet this on the money line if you feel like making bigger profits.
