NFL Odds Favor Red-Hot Saints Against Lions in Wild Card Weekend

For the first time this century the Detroit Lions are an NFL playoff team, but the postseason dream may not last long. This weekend the NFC North wild card will hit the road against the New Orleans Saints.

Weigh in on Bovada’s NFL betting line today.

With a 10-6 mark the Lions have strung together their best season since 1995, but waiting for them down south is a Drew Brees-led Saints team hungry to make up for last season’s disappointing early exit to the Seattle Seahawks.

According to Bovada’s NFL money lines, New Orleans is favored heavily with a -11 point spread and rightfully so. Having thrown a record-setting 5,476 yards in the regular season, it’s hard to imagine anyone slowing down Brees and his receivers in the biggest game of the year.

But just because the football odds lean toward the hometown Saints, that doesn’t mean Detroit isn’t an intriguing option for fans looking to take a chance. The Lions have won four straight games heading into the postseason and will look to continue to ride the wave momentum that they’ve ridden since their stellar start to the season in September.

Think you know how the first week of playoffs will unfold?
