Sports Betting Overview The Detroit Lions are a young and inexperienced football team. Many of the players are talented but have never played in an NFL playoff game. Many of the key players have three years or less of NFL experience. According to the price per head bookie experts, the line on this game is pretty high in favor of the Saints. But the lopsided line should not turn fans away from watching this game. The Detroit Lions played the Green Bay Packers in week 17 of the regular season. In that game, the Packers fielded a mix of veterans and third-string players on defense. Lions’ quarterback Matthew Stafford was able to shred the backup Green Bay defense for 520 passing yards and five touchdowns. When given the chance, Stafford can exploit a weak passing defense. The New Orleans Saints have the 30th ranked pass defense in the league.
For the sake of comparison, the mixed bag Detroit defense that played in that last game of the season gave up 480 passing yards and six touchdowns to Green Bay backup quarterback Matt Flynn.

Online Betting Overview Ok, so the league figured out that it isn’t magic that helped Tim Tebow win all of those games. It was a series of defenses that were incapable of putting sustained pressure on the quarterback. So how does that explain the beating that the Buffalo Bills put on Tebow in week 16? The Buffalo Bills may not have the best defense in the NFL, but it is a defense that knows how to take advantage of a quarterback having a bad passing day. This is the same defense that made Michael Vick and Tom Brady look silly this season with three picks in each of those games. But the price per head experts were not expecting the massacre that took place in week 16. After analyzing the 40-14 beating the Broncos took at the hands of the Bills, it is pretty obvious that the league has figured Tim Tebow out. Now the Broncos will get to see how Tebow responds to real pressure as Denver needs to win this game to win the AFC West.
The Kansas City Chiefs actually have a pretty good defense as has been on display since head coach Todd Haley was fired.

The New York Giants and the New York Jets will fight on Saturday at MetLife Stadium. 
Not only the Giants won and covered four straight against Rex’s Flyboys, they enter this ‘town ain’t big enough for both of us’ fray with a 13-6 SU and 15-4 ATS mark in away games versus an opponent off a double-digit SU loss, including 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS when the tall guys are also off a SU loss.
And though it’s hard to believe Tom Coughlin’s crew could play as bad as they did in last week’s loss to Washington, it’s a fact that his team thrives in road games following Redskin rumbles, going an impressive 6-1 SU and 7-0 ATS.
Simply put, we’ll back Giants QB Eli Manning as a dog over the Jets’ Mark Sanchez for the remaining days of our life on earth

The Miami Dolphins visit the New England Patriots on Saturday at Gillette Stadium. 
Tom Brady proved once again that he is ‘The Man’ after New England humbled Tim Tebow and the Broncos last week in a matchup that drew the season’s highest viewer ratings.
Brady also shrugged off the usual ‘you were really poised under pressure’ compliments in the postgame interview by saying, “I’ve been in a lot of big games… most of them bigger than THIS one.”
Maybe so, Tom, but we see the Pats letting down a bit after their blowout of Denver – especially since they’ll be taking on a division foe they’ve pounded in three straight meetings.
