Everybody injured. For Detroit, top receiver good to go.

MinnesotaFats · 10-02-20, 11:48 PM

Det going to score 28-35 pts

Can Saints score 35-38??

KRIT · 10-02-20, 11:48 PM

The Lions have been getting a ton of respect from the books all season. Lions were -6 for most of the week leading up to their game against Green Bay.

Offensively they might be better than the Saints. The issue is their defense and coach aren’t very good. Saints will also be without both their starting cornerbacks.

lakerboy · 10-02-20, 11:49 PM

Saints are in bad shape. They need a typical lions meltdown to get a win here.

thomorino · 10-02-20, 11:50 PM

Thomas has a high ankle sprain, which is a tough injury, he may play but it’s not clear if he’ll play much or be effective. Stafford has Holliday back.

MinnesotaFats · 10-02-20, 11:51 PM

Over the play here I'm guessing

beavis13 · 10-02-20, 11:52 PM

This is a game the Lions should win if not cover. Than again, they are the Lions

pilebuck13 · 10-02-20, 11:52 PM

Idk about this line screams stay away

pilebuck13 · 10-02-20, 11:53 PM

Carolina looks weird as well Detroit or Carolina one of these teams probably win outright

Kermit · 10-02-20, 11:53 PM

No Michael Thomas. Another game to take Kamara's receiving yards over. You can get it at 59.5 right now.

Yeah you’d think the Saints would just run more but Payton just hates running the ball.

The Lions went into Arizona and beat a pretty good Arizona team. They had the Bears blown out like the Falcons did before the collapse. Got rolled by Green Bay. Saints have lots of injuries. The line isn't a surprise. Probably where it belongs. I haven't even capped the game yet and won't until tomorrow but before that it looks about right. I live 10 minutes from Detroit and know my Lions. Lol. What do I know? Probably still nothing because they are the Lions.

Morino what you make of these lines

MinnesotaFats · 10-03-20, 12:09 AM

We sure Thomas is a no go??

I’d make the line Saints -2.5, the Saints are the better team but this game seems very likely to come down to the final possession.

Thinas out last year wouldn’t have been manageable but this year they haven’t worked sanders into the offense yet and Golladay is one of the underrated receivers who is back now and makes a big difference.

My only bet on this game is golladay over for receiving yards.

Stafford has played well, people forget he was putting up mvp numbers before getting hurt last year, still the win against Arizona was helped a lot by Hopkins getting hurt.

thomorino · 10-03-20, 12:14 AM

Last season seems so long ago people forget Stafford was putting up mvp numbers before getting hurt, he’s playing much better than Brees right now and he’s much younger.

Brees has a guy who he can dump the ball off who is explosive and can make huge plays. He has over 170 scrimmage yards in each of the last 2 games and in those games, he had 22 catches for over 230 yards receiving.

The Kamara prop for rushing & Receiving is 120.5, but I much prefer the receiving prop as it has been much easier for him to explode after the catch.

Yes, he is out.

Agree Kamara has looked good, he clearly wasn’t healthy at the end of last year and Brees doesn’t trust sanders yet. It makes no sense the Saints don’t run more though, Kamara has looked very strong running too.

Say what you want about the guy but he gives good thoughtful analysis

He was my first pick for fantasy WR. I didn't use him last week as I was unsure if he was recovered from his injury and it cost me the week.

I also think he'll soar past his 63.5 yards this week at home.

Agree, Lions have enough weapons you can’t double him, game is in a dome, and Saints secondary has struggled, Detroit hates running the ball too.

That's why I can't ever play fantasy again. Maybe weekly someday, but never season-long. Even in best ball you can be ravaged by injuries. I had Kamara as the #1 back and running away with it this year, but no guarantee I got him unless in an auction. I love to play but I find if I just focus on sports betting and fade it I will be better in the long run. I think if I played fantasy this year and studied and paid attention my sports betting would suffer. I just can't focus on multiple things like that or multi-task whatever they call it. Now, I realize this is TMI oh well.

darrell74 · 10-03-20, 12:59 AM

I have a hard time believing that the Saints will go 1-3 and the Lions will go 2-2

My team this year has/had saquon, leveon bell, kittle, julio Jones, Pittman jr, and perris Campbell. It’s painful. If you want a guy to suffer a season long injury lmk and I’ll pick him up for a fee

He was my #1 pick. I was torn between taking him or Elliot.

You can get +200 for an extra TD.

With no preseason they might not wake up until it's too late this year.

That sucks. I know the feeling. The injuries are one thing you just can't ever predict. Then, right when your team has some momentum you get an injury to a top player and you're done or in trouble.

thomorino · 10-03-20, 03:44 PM

Thomas is out
