Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions

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.
