Prediction
This is not the most attractive prime time matchup for sure. We have two rookie quarterbacks going head-to-head, which could lead to some ugly football. Points are going to be hard to come by, but I’ll give the edge to Bo Nix and Denver. Nix has at least played every game this year, while Spencer Rattler is coming off his first start. The edge definitely goes to the Broncos defense, which has been outstanding this year. They rank fourth in total defense and points allowed. New Orleans is dead last in total defense after allowing 51 at home to Tampa Bay. I’ll take a small parlay with Denver and the Under.
Pick: Broncos -2/UNDER 37 parlay
