New Orleans Saints (NO) vs Detroit Lions (DET) Pick


Detroit Lions over New Orleans Saints: This play is a reputation vs. reality situation. NO is 0-3 s/u on the road so far this year. They still have a prolific offense lead by Brees. However it is just not the same without Sproles and they are expected to be without TE Graham for this one. Det has definitely taken a step back in regard to their offense. Part of that can be explained with the absence of Johnson who will miss again this week Bush is expected to return which will help with ball control keeping the No offense on the sidelines.

However Det has the #1 ranked defense in the league and no that is not a misprint. Det has begun to win because of their defense and excellent pass rush which should put the heat on Brees all afternoon forcing him into some mistakes.
