Broncos vs Saints Bets Get Week 7 Moving

Broncos vs Saints bets get Week 7 moving. The one thing New Orleans can do is score some points. That is the good news. Unfortunately, they can give up a ton of points, too. New Orleans allowed 51 to Tampa Bay on Sunday afternoon in a 51-27 loss. Previously, they had not allowed more than 26 points. It is a defense of contradictions. Here is a little more on why.

What is hard to believe is that New Orleans has caused 12 turnovers on the season. However, they are last in yards allowed and have yielded 450+ yards in three of the past four weeks. Since the first two weeks, the New Orleans offense has not kept them off the field well and it shows. After all, teams don't go two straight games without punting all the time. Derek Carr expects to be out again which means Spencer Rattler, a rookie, runs the offense.

Now, another problem is the Denver offense. It has started off slowly the past few weeks. Everyone remembers the 10-9 win against the Jets where Bo Nix had -7 yards passing in the first half. Nix was under 100 yards heading into the fourth quarter on Sunday. Denver ultimately lost 23-16 but a lot of the offense was gained when the game was out of reach.

Sadly, there is a lot to digest. Two young quarterbacks with at times questionable offenses and sometimes vulnerable defenses. The belief is the Saints will try to run more and keep Rattler from throwing 40 passes. He made two crucial mistakes that turned last week's game into a sort of blowout. The Saints get back in the win column this week after more than a month-long absence.

Expect Some Points On Thursday Night

Naturally, Broncos vs Saints bets suggest to expect some points on Thursday night. The problem with both teams is their propensity for the defenses to break at the worst possible time. Also, Sean Payton is coming home to New Orleans and will want desperately to win and get the offense in gear! Even if this is only for a week, Denver needs some confidence as their schedule is one of the tougher ones in the NFL.

Denver currently holds a tenuous grip on a wild card spot at 3-3. New Orleans is now 2-4 and trying to get back into the NFC South race any way it can. One of the problems with games like this is this. We cannot get them right all the time. For all the bets and thoughts that went right in Week 6, the Cincinnati and New York game was a dud. Sure, the Bengals covered, but the offenses were a no show in a 17-7 result. It shows one never quite knows.

The game total stands at 37.5 at press time. That feels about right given the circumstances of the offenses. No one is expecting Denver to put up 51 points. That might take them three weeks. Anyway, both teams might score around 20 points, however. Like we mentioned above, the rushing attacks could gain some yards in that one. New Orleans needs to utilize Alvin Kamara better. Getting into track meets with teams usually does not end well.

The simple answer is to take a shot at the over on the turf of Caesars Superdome. New Orleans wants to beat its former coach badly.

Any More Bets, Perhaps?

Broncos vs Saints bets ask about any more bets perhaps? Here is the thought process. This is one of several games on the Week 7 slate that concern us heavily. Any NFL game has a good deal of volatility. That is the nature of betting. However, this one can easily go sideways. If anyone watched the second quarter of the Tampa Bay-New Orleans game Sunday, they will immediately understand.

One of our followers on X was kind enough to show a five-leg parlay that hit last week. It is amusing that four of the legs involved picks from here. Anyway, this is no easy business and there will be losses. Cleveland and Philadelphia forgot to score in the first half on Sunday in what became an ugly 20-16 game. But hey, San Francisco scored 36 hitting all our point props. That is how it goes.

Laying 2.5 points for New Orleans might be worth a risk at +105. That might be a small bet worth monitoring.
