A couple of ugly losses aren’t enough to deter the oddsmakers from favoring the New Orleans Saints again in Week 4. The BetMGM Sportsbook likes the Saints as road favorites over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field this Sunday, currently listing the Lions as 4-point underdogs in their own building. The over/under is set at 54.5, which implies a final total in the range of Saints 29, Lions 25.
That’s optimistic, given how poorly the Saints defense has performed this season. And they’ll be squaring off against Matthew Stafford, a veteran quarterback with a big arm who has put up more than 25 points every time he’s faced New Orleans throughout his career (except for a 2011 contest when his offense managed just 17 points in a loss).
