The New Orleans Saints will be home this week, taking on the Detroit Lions. This team is in desperate need of a win. They’ve lost their last two games and can’t make it three. Another loss could be detrimental to any hopes of the Saints making the playoffs. Read below to see how the Saints match up against one of the top teams in the NFC.

Detroit Lions Preview

The Lions have one of the best records in the NFL, sitting at 8-3. They’re spearheaded by their potent offense, which is one of the best in the league. The team is led by QB Jared Goff, who has quietly been a top-ten QB in the...

Power Rankings: How do the Saints fare after a loss to Atlanta?

Here’s how the New Orleans Saints rank amongst the five major power rankings after advancing to 5-6 on the season.

“After a midseason flurry of productivity, the offense is back in slump mode. Derek Carr racked up 305 passing yards against the Falcons, but he can’t seem to get this team into the end zone. His pick and Taysom Hill’s fumble in the red zone basically decided the game. New Orleans lost by two scores, but just as easily could have won by two. That speaks to the mediocrity of this team and the NFC South, which keeps things open for now. Carr just hasn’t brought this offense...

There are still some injury concerns for the New Orleans Saints, but the big loss will be at wideout if Chris Olave can’t suit up against the Detroit Lions.

Our staff gives their picks for the upcoming week in the NFL as playoff implications start to heat up.

Even at home, the Saints are trending to be a pretty sizable underdog against Jared Goff and the Lions.

A former first round pick, Abram will provide depth in the secondary, especially in Marshon Lattimore’s absence.

Saints expensive investment in Derek Carr not paying dividends

METAIRIE, La. — The Saints’ sizeable investment in Derek Carr is looking more like a liability lately.

New Orleans has struggled to finish promising drives in the end zone — something that likely needs to change if the Saints (5-6) are to keep up with the NFC North-leading Detroit Lions (8-3) in the Superdome on Sunday.

“It’s something that we’re working on,” Carr said this week. “Everyone wants an answer, or has an answer for us, but we’re going to keep working on it here.”

“It hasn’t been what we want it to be up to this point," Carr added, “but we still have time.”

Alabama pass rusher most-picked player in PFF mock drafts for Saints fans

It’s obvious that the New Orleans Saints need more help rushing the passer — their 18 sacks as a team are tied for the second-fewest in the NFL going into Week 13. Cameron Jordan, their franchise leader in sacks, has just two takedowns through 11 games this season. He can’t keep doing this on his own even if Carl Granderson has developed into a solid player for the Saints off the other end of the line.

So it’s no surprise that Saints fans using the Pro Football Focus mock draft simulator are making the pass rush a priority. PFF analysis found that the most-picked player by Saints fans is...

Opportunistic Saints defense can take advantage of Jared Goff's mistakes

An opportunistic New Orleans Saints defense must take advantage of Jared Goff’s mistakes. The Detroit Lions quarterback has committed six turnovers in his last two games, losing three fumbles to the Green Bay Packers last week after throwing three interceptions to the Chicago Bears a week earlier. Goff is in a bit of a rut, and the Saints need to capitalize on it. He’s thrown eight interceptions and fumbled five times this season.

That’s easier said than done for most teams, but New Orleans is known for its ballhawks. The Saints defense has intercepted the second-most passes in the NFL...

NFL analyst Brian Baldinger is known for his enthusiasm and keen eye, and he knows a great player when he sees one. The New Orleans Saints may have fallen short against the Atlanta Falcons last week but Baldinger made time to talk up Tyrann Mathieu’s performance.

The 11th-year safety is still making plays. Mathieu did his part to help the Saints compete in Atlanta by twice intercepting quarterback Desmond Ridder and coming through with some much-needed stops in the secondary.

“He’s still doing this kind of stuff,” Baldinger said, focusing on a touchdown-saving tackle against Falcons...

How many years are the New Orleans Saints stuck with Derek Carr’s contract? The veteran quarterback has not met expectations through his first 11 starts with his new team, running an inefficient offense and deflecting responsibility to his coaches and teammates when pressed about it by the media. He’s hardly been the franchise savior Dennis Allen and Mickey Loomis trumpeted him as.

What are his salary cap hits looking like? Everyone knows by now that a four-year, $150 million contract isn’t exactly what it looks like. There are so many factors at play — funny money, void years, prorated...

What can the New Orleans Saints offense do to secure a win over the Detroit Lions in Week 13? What schematic decisions and points of emphasis will make a difference? Which vulnerabilities in the Detroit defense can they exploit?

Scoring more touchdowns would help.

Really, though: Derek Carr’s deficiencies in the red zone and inside the 10-yard line have been pronounced in recent weeks, and figuring out why he’s struggling so badly can make a difference on Sunday. But there are 80 yards to cover before the Saints can get in scoring position. With that in mind, here are four keys to...

Oddsmakers are expecting a tight game from the New Orleans Saints (5-6) in Week 13; BetMGM Sportsbook has the Saints as four-point underdogs at home against the Detroit Lions (8-3), with a 47-point over/under suggesting a final line in the neighborhood of Detroit 25, New Orleans 21.

That would be the most points the Saints have scored in a game since the start of November, when they put up 24 points on the Chicago Bears in their last home game. They haven’t finished with a winning record at the Caesars Superdome in years, and they’re 2-2 right now. A win over the Lions would do a lot to...
