AMEDEUS' NFL PRIME TIME THURSDAY THRASHER!
(NFL) Broncos (DEN) vs. Saints (NO),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -115.00 Broncos (DEN) (Away)
Result: Win
The Broncos are coming into this game with a 3-3 record this season and they have been playing much better in their recent games. They started the season 0-2, but they have won 3 of their last 4 games and are starting to turn things around with one of the better defenses in the league. They allowed 23 points in their loss last week to the Chargers, but prior to that they allowed 18 points or less in 4 straight games and allowed 13 points or less in 3 of those 4 as well. They are going up against a Saints team that is 2-4 this season and they have not been playing well recently. They have lost their last 4 straight games after starting the season 2-0 and now they are missing their starting quarterback Derek Carr as well. Spencer Rattler started the last game which they lost 51-27 to the Buccaneers. He did not start the game well and then started to play better near the end of the 1st half, but turnovers started to plague him in the 2nd half as the team was shut out in that half. They also lost 2 key pieces to the offense with Olave and Shaheed now unavailable for this game so the Saints do not have much going for them on offense. Rattler is only making his 2nd NFL start, but a lack of weapons in this game is going to hurt them. Kamara is going to be the main focus of the game plan and once the Broncos shut him down, there will not be many options for Rattler to go to. The defense has also let them down in recent weeks as they allowed 51 points at home last week and have allowed 26+ points in 3 straight games. The Broncos do not have a great offense, but Bo Nix has been improving in each game and they will be able to run the ball efficiently here as this Saints defense has been getting eaten on the ground in a few games this year. The Broncos will cover the spread in this game.
