Week 13 of the 2016 NFL season has so many good games on the slate. One of the better games going on in the 1:00 p.m. ET hour will be between the Detroit Lions (7-4) and the New Orleans Saints (5-6). FOX will have the telecast coming from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

Detroit last played on Thanksgiving Day at home. The Lions handed their NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings a crushing, late-fourth quarter loss to improve to 7-4. While the Green Bay Packers are coming off a big win in Week 12, Detroit is in the driver’s seat to win the NFC North.

New Orleans boat raced the hopeless Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in Week 12. The Saints needed a win to keep pace with the Atlanta Falcons and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South race. New Orleans trails the Falcons by two games in the NFC South standings with five weeks remaining.
