Wow, I'm surprised the Saints and Lions will be the primetime game ahead of Steelers/Broncos and Falcons/Giants. The other two matchups will draw a lot more viewers than this matchup. This game also probably won't be that competitive either.

That might be the case but I don't know how many people will be interested in watching the Lions. If you had no rooting interest, wouldn't you be more interested in watching Tebow go up against the Steelers than Saints vs. Lions? I know I am.

Matt Stafford just threw for 502(most yards since 96..5th most all time.)
Brees is the single season passing record holder.

hmmm. nobody wants to see that.

You gotta keep riding the Saints and over picks until they let up.

Saints have Drew Brees and are league doormats turned monsters. Throw in some Katrina stories for warmth and you have a nice TV draw. Not the Cowboys but still nice.

I think Tebow has had his 15 minutes

The Broncos losing there starting right guard isn't going to help matters out either. PIttsburgh also lost Mendenhal today. I say 17-9 "terrible Towels"

I completely agree. Tebow magic has run out, his games are actually quite boring to watch. I for one am very excited about Detroit vs Saints.
