Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
 
Didn't read the article......but just the title alone is sorta funny.

As if that should be earth-shattering news.

The Saints, who haven't won a regular season road game since Macy's was getting ready for a parade last year, going on the road to Detroit.....a team with 2 more wins than the Saints............and yet it's somehow news that the Saints would be underdogs.

To be honest, I think it's disrespectful that Detroit isn't even getting the full 3 point HFA line, last I checked (-2 or - 2 1/2, depending on where you look).

However....Saints will win this one. This is one of those "S--- or get off the pot" moments in the season. They have a brutal schedule going forward, and still have yet to win a road game.....this just sorta seems like the week. I'd hate to see what 2-4 looks like with that stretch of games they're about to have.

Exactly. Not necessarily disrespectful, but maybe more indicative of exactly where the Lions are at this season ... their early success can be mostly attributed to weak opponents ... we've this before with other teams as well.

This is a very winnable game for the Saints. If I had a nickel for every time the Lions lost a game they shoulda' won (and they should win this one if we are to believe the hype) in front of the home crowd, I'd be owning the Lions franchise right about now, ;) ... bet.

Let' hope Matt Pratar doesn't beat us with his leg & prove why we should have gone after him.

If he has another game like last week, it'll be Detroit fans beating Prater with his own leg.

You'd look good and probably do better as the Detroit Lions' owner. :p

Oh yeah, put both my kids & my ex-wife in houses & if I play my cards right, might own half the block I live on when it's all said & done, :lol: ... not too many professional athletes care to live in this neighborhood though, ;).

Graham "may" return this week... That'll help if he does: Jimmy Graham returns; limited in Saints practice - NFL.com
