Good day to you all !

Game : Detroit Lions @ New orleans
Pick : New Orleans - 10.5

Detroit Lions are in the playoffs for the first time since 1999 
These Lions will be an attractive underdog pick for a lot of people in this forum and across countless of sportsbooks all over.
Here is what we hear :
- It's hard to beat the same team twice in one year
( never mind , it happens ) 
- Detroit lost that regular season encounter because they shot themselves in the foot
( well, that's what inexperienced teams do, and even more so in the playoffs -11 penalties for 107 yards is not a recipe for success and certainly not an excuse for losing )
- Ndamukong Suh did not play in the first game 
( He did not, but he was in the lineup when Matt Flynn threw for nearly 500 yards and 6 touchdowns for Green Bay ! )

New Orleans is riding an 8 game winning streak in which they covered every one of those games winning last three heading into the playoffs by 28, 29, and 22 points.

You want momentum , you got it.

You just won't find a hotter team than these New Orleans Saints.

New Orleans lost 2 of their last 3 games heading into the playoffs last season and were shocked by the Seahawks in the wild card game.
This is the motivational tool to add the final ingredient for this matchup.
New Orleans defense has not given up more than 24 points to anyone outside of the shocker @ St LOuis in the last 10 games . By contrast, Detroit's defense has given up more than 24 points on seven different ocassions in their last 10 games .
Does it matter ?
I do believe New Orleans gets their 38 points+

Final score : New Orleans 41-17
no opinion on the over/under

 Best of luck !
