Going OVER the total here. Could be the sucker play of the weekend. But we are taking it. I thought that 63 would be a good number to open with. 60 in the NFL is a big number. But I have to go OVER here. Two QBs with over 40TDs and 5000 yards thrown this year. Saints at home are unstoppable this year. A perfect 8-0 putting up over 40ppg. These two met a couple weeks ago in a 31-17 Saints win. Brees is on another level. 46TDs and nearly 5500 yards. Crazy. Saints are scoring 44 here. Not a doubt it my mind. In Stafford, we have a break-out season. 41TDs, a huge WR in Calvin Johnson 96rec 16TDs 17.ypc average. Lions average nearly 30ppg. I see this match-up and I can't help but have flash-backs to January 2010 and Arizona 51 Green Bay 45. 5* OVER Lions/Saints
