Cortana Picks Lions to Win

I'd be pleased if they were ALL 1 point wins.

That's kinda' where it's at for both sides ... Detroit needs to win convincingly over a few perennial playoff teams/contenders to be taken seriously and the Saints need to win convincingly on the road to get the season jump-started ... quite the dilemma,

.

IDK how "hungry" the Lions are, as they've typically turned in a performance that's just enough to get the fans off their backs. It's why you don't see me on the homer bandwagon calling this one a sure win for Detroit ... Payton & Brees alone got more than enough character to carry the Saints in this one, road game or not ... bet.

IDK... If I did not know any better, I'd think you're flying the magic carpet for the Lions.

Don't tell the Saints that. They expect to win this one.

Dang it! Not the dancing broccoli!

... and if you break down the Lions' opponents up to Wk #7, you'll see it has been somewhat of a magic-carpet ride. I predicted this to be the game where Detroit begins to see if they're for real or not ... I'm half expecting you guys to make me out to be some sort of "Slomo-damus", even without JG,

.

I do carry a CDL-A though, don't know if that covers "magic carpets",

"Slomo-Damus"

Very good! I like that.

Ya know, I mean the defense is not playing good, but they have improved from week 1. That said, the offense is where I am most troubled. They have put up a lot of yards, but they just can't get it together. They do not look like themselves. I swear it reminds me a lot of 2007. I am very hopeful, even against a really good D, that our O gets it together today. Gees we just need a decent D if our O goes the way it normally does. Really hope it starts today!

In my opinion, and maybe I am wrong, but I think where we are losing is upfront, and if we can't fix that... we are in trouble.

The last time the Saints played a Caldwell coached team, it worked out pretty well. Defense rises up. Saints win the turnover battle. K. Rob runs hard. WR's make a few plays. Saints 27-19.

Yep. Don't get me wrong, Caldwell has brought a certain maturity/professionalism to the Lions clubhouse that's been missing in the past, but it is also pretty well documented that he couldn't win w/o Peyton Manning ... Stafford, while decent, is no Peyton Manning,
