Total: 37.50 | -120.00 Under
Result: Loss
ASA NFL play on UNDER 37.5 Denver Broncos at New Orleans Saints, 8:20 PM ET - We are playing the Under in this Thursday night game between the Broncos and Saints. The Saints have been decimated with injuries and are coming off a game in which they allowed 51-points to the Buccaneers. Tampa Bay though was 9th in scoring going into that game at 25.4PPG. Denver has struggled to put up points other than their one game against the Raiders a few weeks ago. In that game Denver got a rare 100-yards INT return for a touchdown. The Broncos average 18.7PPG on the season which ranks 25th in the NFL. Denver’s offense isn’t explosive as it averages just 4.7 Yards Per Play which ranks 27th in the league. The Broncos are 31st in 3rd down percentage and struggle to maintain drives. New Orleans will struggle to score here too against a Denver D that is 4th in yards allowed per game, 2nd in YPPG allowed at 4.7, 6th in Rushing yards per play allowed and they give up just 16ppg which is 4th lowest in the NFL. The Saints defense has some horrific statistics, but they’ve also faced some of the leagues better offenses which has skewed their overall numbers. With the Saints just allowing 51-points and the Books taking heavy action on the Over, ask yourself why haven’t they adjusted this number higher? We think the obvious answer is this game stays Under.
