Saints vs. Lines: NFL Sunday Night Football Preview

New Orleans (8-3 Home: 5-0) looked amazing as they gashed the Giants 49-24 on Monday Night Football during Week 12 action. Sitting with a 5-0 home record, the Saints are a special team when they’re playing under their dome sweet dome. Home cooking cranks them up a few notches.

New Orleans has outscored their opponents by a combined 208-93 final score in home games. The Saints close out the season with three of their last five games in the Superdome. They currently trail the 49ers, by just one game, for the second overall NFC Playoff position.

Detroit (7-4, Away 4-1) jumped out to a 5-0 start this season, but have gone just 2-4 since their Week 5 win over the Chicago Bears. The suspension of DT Ndamukong Stompin’ Suh, for his Thanksgiving Day antics against Packers OG Evan Dietrich-Smith, is very costly for the Lions.

Week 13 NFL  Wagering Odds: Detroit vs. New Orleans Free Pick

BookMaker.com – the sportsbook “Where The Line Originates” provides tonight’s wagering odds for our Lions @ Saints Free Pick. We see this as one of the most entertaining games of the 2011 NFL season. Don’t be surprised if the Saints aggressive defense gets in on the scoring in this one.

Injuries will also take their toll on the Lions as they will be without S Louis Delmas and CB Chris Houston. That’s not good when you’re facing QB Drew Brees and his numerous pass receiving weapons. Brees & Co. carved up the Giants on MNF, they’ll do the same to the Lions on SNF.

From a betting trend standpoint, New Orleans won in Detroit 42-7 in 2008 and 45-27 under the Dome during the 2009 NFL season. The Saints and Packers opened the 2011 NFL season in Week One. New Orleans takes another step towards a rematch in the NFC Championship tonight.

We liked the Packers over the Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday but we went with the OVER on the Game Total instead. We didn’t expect the Lions would suck so bad on offense. While we see this one going OVER, we’ll settle on the Saints to cover here. New Orleans 38 Detroit 24 sounds about right!
