(NFL) Broncos (DEN) vs. Saints (NO),
Point Spread: -2.50 | -115.00 Broncos (DEN) (Away)
Result: Win
In a matchup of rookie quarterbacks in Nix and Rattler in this contest. While one would look at the Saints and say “hey, they scored 27 points last week” but a closer look takes the shine off that somewhat. Of the Saints’ points, seven came off a punt return while two other drives started within the Tampa Bay 30-yard line and led to 10 points. In the second half, they were unable to do anything as far as putting points on the board. Now, they have to face a Denver team that has been pretty solid on the defensive side of the ball this season and its a short week. I look for Denver to go on the road and rely on their defense to come up with the victory on Thursday night NFL action.
