Broncos vs Saints: Our Prediction

The Broncos’ defense ranks fifth in the NFL in passing yards allowed, conceding only 170.2 yards per game. This defensive strength could pressure Saints backup QB Spencer Rattler, who is stepping in for the injured Derek Carr.

Denver’s rushing defense, allowing 114.2 yards per game, is also solid, although it ranks mid-tier, potentially giving Saints running back Alvin Kamara room to make an impact.

Broncos’ Offensive Hurdles

Quarterback Bo Nix has had an inconsistent season with 1,082 passing yards, five touchdowns, and five interceptions.

He’ll need to elevate his game to exploit the Saints’ struggling pass defense, which ranks 29th, allowing 262.2 yards per game. Denver’s running game has been lackluster, averaging 107.3 yards, and may find it difficult to break through the Saints’ front line.

New Orleans’ Key Playmakers

Alvin Kamara remains a significant factor for New Orleans with 428 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season, helping the Saints rank fourth in points per game (27.8).

However, Rattler’s ability to adjust quickly and manage turnovers will be critical. Kamara and the Saints’ offensive unit will need to capitalize on Denver’s defensive lapses to keep the game competitive.

The under 37.5 might be tempting considering offensive struggles on both sides but Alvin kamara anytime touchdown (-110) might be the best choice.
