Detroit at New Orleans
Easily what I would call the game of the week. Detroit has some explosive weapons on offense, and a quarterback to wide receiver combination that is one of the best in football this year. The running game might be a little lacking for the Lions right now, but they still excel in the passing game, which just happens to be one of the Saints bigger weaknesses. Megatron and wide out friends on the Lions are going to be ecstatic getting the chance to go against this underperforming secondary. For the Saints to win they are going to have to rely on getting a few early turnovers against Detroit. Stafford usually throws a pick or two early before turning it on in the second half, so New Orleans is going to have to get a take away or two early in both halves to keep this Detroit team on their heels. Brees will find a way to pass through this Lions defense the same way Rodgers did after Suh got ejected, and if they studied how easy that Jones touchdown was last week then the potent wide out group in New Orleans should have some big plays themselves. As Brees continues to go deep wait and watch for the small dump routes to Sproles, those are always fun to watch by what I think is the best free agent pick up of the last off season.
The New Orleans Saints win the best game of the week 38-35
