Ordinarily in the past few seasons many might have expected Drew Brees to demolish the Lions in this match up, however, this Saints team is not playing anywhere near as well as what we are used to seeing, and that could mean they struggle on the road today.
This season the Lions are boasting the top ranked defense in the NFL and are tied for first place in their devision. Their strong offense is actually one of the places they have struggled the most and they will be looking to get that portion of their game fixed asap.
Brees has enjoyed a good run against the Lions, and he is in fact 4-0 against Detroit, enjoying a completion rate of 75.2 percent of his passes against them for an average of 379.3 yards. He also has 14 touchdowns against them with just one interception, and has an impressive 133.8 rating.
The Saints come into Week 7 after a bye. The last time they were in action they secured a 37-31 win over Tampa Bay on Oct. 5. However, that win came at home, and their away for is a lot less impressive; they have gone six straight games tasting defeat on the road, and lost eight out of their last nine games away from home.
If the Saints lose again today they will have dropped their seventh straight road game for the first time since 2000, when they suffered 14 straight losses on the road.
