. . . and in a game like this they will also sweeten the spread to encourage betting on the underdog . . . in this case Detroit . . . the way you guys are playing, they have to do something to get some action on Detroit . . . plus it's in your barn, that's worth 3 . . . I'll take Detroit +10.5 all day long.

go Lions.

This is NOT the same Detroit team we played a month ago. This could easily turn into another Seattle type game if our players look past this game. Just like every playoff game my nerves won't settle until the final whistle blows. I do not like this game at all.

You're right, it's not the same team and this game could go south either way PDQ for either side . . . the one thing in the Saints' favor, and it's a biggee, is the experience of playing in the postseason . . . personally, I wanted to play the Saints more the the Giants because I felt we had a better chance of winning . . . I'll go into more depth in the thread I'm going to start . . . stay tuned.

go Lions.

How about playing in the Dome; that's another BIGGEE! 8-0 at home and averaging 40+ this season.

Lions better wear ear plugs, because the Dome will be absolutely insane!

Yeah, I was thinking about that and how when the football crowd would talk about how loud it was in Ford Field for MNF that the only place they thought was louder was the Superdome . . . we can't be jumping because we can't hear . . .

go Lions.
