But, hey, you never know with our team. Lets hope the bye week has done them good and they come out all guns blazing!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Well, if there's any team you want to play on the road in order to get your heads back on straight, it would be the Lions, who traditionally lose games they should win, at home (see Wk #5 vs Buffalo),

.

It's gonna' be interesting though ... Detroit's defense is being touted as the next best thing since sliced bread, but they haven't really played anybody of note & the offense is seriously underperforming. New Orleans is going through a bit of a rough patch with some mediocre performances of their own, but coming off a win & a bye week, so maybe they turn it around, eh?

I'd like to think Detroit beats the Saints on a level playing field, but IDK ... I'm kinda' of the opinion if the Lions win this one (and there is a chance), it's more due to the Saints doldrums than the Lions actually being a team of destiny,

Think for both teams it will be which version of them shows up, both teams have shown a Jekyll and Hyde mentality so far

We have not shown we can win on the road at all, championship teams win on the road

Yeah, well, since we aren't even at .500, the idea of a championship year seems a bit premature.
