Broncos Offense Trending Up
The Broncos are 2-1 on the road and 3-3 on the season, currently sitting in 3rd place in the AFC West. For most of the season, the defense has performed above average, while the offense has been inconsistent. Denver has experienced both blowout wins and close losses, with the defense allowing 13 points or less in 3 games.
In their last game, the Broncos lost to the Chargers at home, 23-16. They were shut out for 3 quarters and were down 20-0. They made the game somewhat interesting in the 4th quarter, but they fell short of a comeback. Denver lost the time of possession battle, turned the ball over twice, and struggled with 3rd-down defense. Look for the Broncos to have a better start against the struggling Saints defense.
Saints Losing Streak
The Saints have lost 4 games in a row, and their offense has taken a hit with QB Derek Carr sidelined due to injury. They are 1-2 at home and still have a plus-20 point differential. During this losing streak, a few games were close losses, while the last two have been by double digits. The defense recently gave up 51 points to Tampa Bay.
In their last game, the Saints lost to the Buccaneers, 51-27. The 1st half was chaotic, with Tampa Bay jumping to a 17-0 lead after just 1 quarter. New Orleans managed a fast comeback in the 2nd quarter, thanks to 3 INTs by their defense, which led to favorable field position. Despite scoring 27 points in the 2nd quarter, the Saints’ offense was shut out in the 2nd half. They will look to clean things up this week.
Broncos vs Saints Prediction
The over is likely to hit in this game because both teams struggle to get 3rd-down stops, which leads to long drives resulting in field goals or TDs. Additionally, both teams can be sloppy with the ball, and quick turnovers can create favorable field position. The Broncos and Saints will aim to get off to a fast start on offense, after digging themselves into holes in last week’s games. The total points should be in the low 40s, hitting the over.
