Detroit Lions at New Orleans Saints Tips – Saints to tame Lions Visit Ladbrokes Save For Later Posted by Leigh Copson 7 Jan 2012 Tweet Quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints (credit: Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Related Articles See all NFL newsCincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans Tips – Texans to take out Bengals young guns Share it Pin It The Detroit Lions make their long-awaited return to the NFL Playoffs on Saturday night, but the New Orleans Saints will make it a brief one.Ladbrokes will refund losing first and anytime touchdown scorer bets if the match goes to overtimeThe Lions have been one of the surprise packages of the 2011 campaign, finishing second in the NFC North to secure their place in the Wild Card Round. Detroit finished with a lowly 6-10 record in 2010 and little was expected ahead of this campaign, but Jim Schwartz’s side made a blistering start to the campaign and survived a mid-season stumble to finish 10-6. They will now make their first appearance in the post-season for 13 years – but they could not have asked for a tougher task.The New Orleans Saints just missed out on the second seeding after a record-breaking year for Drew Brees. Quarterback Brees rocketed past Dan Marino’s mark for most passing yards in a season, and this high-powered offence will take some stopping during the playoffs. The Saints are loaded at talent in the skill position with the likes of running back Darren Sproles, tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receivers Lance Moore and Marques Colston on the roster. Unless the Lions can find a way to ground them, it is going to be a quick post-season experience for the team from the Motor City.It is no surprise to see the New Orleans Saints being made 2/11 favourites to book their place in the Divisional Playoff round, while the Detroit Lions are 9/2 to pull off an upset at the Superdome.When it comes to the Saints there are a number of players that should be considered in the first touchdown market. Colston and Graham are both available at 6/1 for this match, while Sproles and Henderson are 15/2 and 12/1 respectively. For the Lions it would be hard to look past star wide receiver Calvin Johnson who is priced at 13/2. ‘Megatron’ put up 16 TDs during the regular season, with Tony Scheffler and Titus Young (both 20/1) their next best contributors with six.It is worth noting that bookmaker Ladbrokes are offering enhanced odds on marquee markets of live TV NFL games all season long.
