Prediction time - Saints vs Lions

10-18-2014, 02:18 PM

Two weeks to prepare. On the upswing 2-1 over last 3. 4th qtr and OT we looked like our old selves. I am going 31-20 Saints.

I would be more than happy to see things turn around and take 31-20.

WR drops stop and Brees isn't forced to make something happen (ie. throw INT's (6 int's this season))

Saints defense starts tackling (not turnovers, just clean, fundamental tackling)

The Saints actually win a game on the road this season

...I can't pick them to win.

I do predict we lose to the Lions but return home and beat Green Bay then the Saints win their first road game against Carolina.... and then everyone will be more than confused

I'll gladly eat crow. Until the organization proves me wrong with their road history the past few seasons, it is what it is!

The Lions game was one I thought we'd lay an egg in before the season started. But since our defense has already laid 3 eggs I'm hoping we bring the A-game.

It wouldn't shock or even surprise me if we lost this game, but I'm confident we'll win.

22-14 Saints

I hope I am proved wrong but I think the Lions will edge this one.

Home field advantage for Detroit, lots of Lions fans making it loud and then of course our poor road game record.

As I have said, I really, really hope the Saints prove me wrong and I will gladly eat humble pie.

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

We are impeccable after a bi , history has shown us so. Not much of this season has made sense to me , so I'm going against conventional thinking. I think Sean Payton erases doubts , as does Brees. I think we blow them out. Not much I have to support this argument , but I do know that when our football team plays a complete game , we make contenders look like they ought to be picking the first overall guy in the draft ( 11 giants ). Resilience and composure go along way in this long season. I don't put it past this groups to surprise us in a positive way. They are very capable

Cooks gets loose early we run on 2nd to make a 3rd conversion easier on ourselves and Ingram goes off ( no reason why he shouldn't the way he and Khiry have played thus far ) we score early get them behind 14-0 and all the sudden our defense looks like last years. Start fast put it on them hard and early.

The Saints will win this game. They will win enough then lose enough for us to keep scratching our heads all season long wondering what in the hell kind of team we have. We will get to the last game of the season where the playoffs are on the line and we will lose to a Tampa team who is down to their practice squad players and guys they picked up off the street and Jeff Garcia at QB.

Saints win 15 to 14, 5 field goals win it because our O gets man-handled by their D in the red zone. Our D gets real lucky, Detroits O has an off day all day. Thats the best I could give us.

Can't predict anything with this team anymore, you just never know who will show up.

I predict the team with the most points at the end will win!

I think this is reasonable, and like you said you'd love to eat that crow.
