NFL Week 13 Free Pick: Take New Orleans. Without Suh Detroit’s front four will have a hard time generating a consistent rush on Drew Brees and if the Lions can’t generate any pressure then they’re going to die a very quick death. They have too many injuries in their defensive backfield to keep pace with New Orleans’ explosive offense. According to latest NFL trends, the Saints are 5-0 against the spread in their last five home games and 5-0 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite.
