The Lions vs. Saints line had Detroit as a pretty hefty +10.5 underdog coming into New Orleans for what should be the Wildcard Weekend 2012 most bet on game. This game can be bet at Bookmaker.eu, now serving the sports betting community since 1985 and offering a FREE $300 based on initial deposit until January 9 ONLY – So take advantage here now.
The line on this game has been volatile at Bookmaker.eu over the last 24 hours, moving from -10 to -10.5 to -9.5 over that period of time.
The 10-6 Lions head to the playoffs for the first time since 1999 as a wild card, but could have clinched the No. 5 seed with a win. Instead, they'll be the No. 6 seed and face New Orleans in the first round.
"This certainly wasn't a throwaway game for us," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said.
They will face off against an 11-3 New Orleans team that looks every bit the group that won the Super Bowl just two years ago.
The Saints capped off a record-breaking 2011 regular season Sunday, setting four single-season marks as a team:
• 7,474 net total yards
• 5,347 net passing yards
• 416 first downs
• 329 points at home
This game will take place Saturday, January 7 at 8 pm EST.
