The Denver Broncos (3-3) and head coach Sean Payton, will journey to his previous stomping grounds to tackle the New Orleans Saints to kick off Week 7. Over 15 seasons in New Orleans, Payton received a franchise report 152 video games, together with a Tremendous Bowl victory in 2009. Within the 2022 offseason, the Saints traded Payton to the Broncos and New Orleans turned to present coach Dennis Allen to guide them again to prominence.
The Broncos dropped their first two video games of the season (Seahawks and Steelers) earlier than profiting from the “Lions Hangover” and securing their first win of the season over the Buccaneers, then taking down the Jets and Raiders within the subsequent two weeks. They’re coming off a loss to the Chargers and will probably be seeking to get again right into a profitable rhythm in opposition to a beat-up Saints workforce.
The Saints convincingly received their first two video games of the season, scoring over 40 factors in every recreation, but it surely’s been downhill from there. They misplaced to the Eagles, Falcons, Chiefs, and Buccaneers over the past 4 weeks and have been coping with a slew of accidents. Heading into this recreation, the Saints had 18 (!) gamers on their harm report, ruling out 5 starters and itemizing quarterback Derek Carr as uncertain after not practising the final two weeks.
With Carr formally dominated inactive, it seems to be prefer it’ll be a battle between rookie quarterbacks because the Saints’ Spencer Rattler and Broncos’ Bo Nix look to get their workforce again within the win column.
Betting line and choose for the sport
With the Saints coping with a great deal of accidents and dropping their final 4 video games, it’s not stunning to see the oldsters over at FanDuel Sportsbook set the betting line at Broncos -2.5 factors.
With rookies beneath heart and accidents galore, I’m not anticipating a clean recreation. The Saints have the firepower to place factors up on the board however I’m unsure they’ll overcome their obstacles.
Prediction: Broncos 24-20
