(NFL) New Orleans vs. Detroit,
10/19/2014 9:00 AM, Score: 23 - 24
Point Spread: -2.50 | -122.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: -2.50 | -122.00 Detroit (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Detroit Lions.
With both Jimmy Graham and Calvin Johnson likely to miss this week's game, those injuries sort of cancel each other out. The Lions though haven't been relying on their offense to win football games, it's their defense that ranks #1 against the pass and #2 against the run.
The Saints defense has been well below average all year, and Detroit still has a well balanced attack, even without Megatron. Joique Bell has been a beast in the backfield, and he ran for 74 yards and a TD on 18 carries last week. He'll be splitting snaps with Reggie Bush, who will also pose a threat in the passing game.
The Saints are a much stronger team at home, although they sure didn't look good in a 37-31 OT win over Tampa in their last game. Drew Brees was picked off three times, with just two TDs. Brees threw 39 TD passes last year, but only 12 of those came on the road.
New Orleans has lost six straight on the road in the regular season, and there is absolutely nothing to suggest that they can end that streak this week against a superior Lions team.
Take DET.
