At 8:15pm ET, my TNF Total Of The Month is on Denver/New Orleans under. The total might seem low but its really not low enough. The Saints are missing their QB and #1 receiver. Rookie Spencer Rattler was forced to throw to catch up against the Bucs but that's not how New Orleans wants it. The Saints will look to employ a more conservative gameplan tonight. The Broncos have a rookie QB of their own. Though it may seem that Bo Nix has had some quality moments, he still has only the 34th best passer rating (73.7) in the NFL. The Broncos make up for it with their defense. They allowed just 10 and 9 points in their last 2 road games. They rank in the top 5 of the NFL for points allowed and yards allowed. The Saints' defensive numbers aren't as good but you know that Saints' coach Allen will, Payton's former defensive coordinator, will have his defense fired up for a bounce-back effort. Also, the Denver offense ranks near the bottom of the NFL and won't be capable of taking advantage of any New Orleans defensive deficiencies. With 2 rookies behind center and two coaches that know each other well, this game will feature a lot of running the ball and will be a low-scoring defensive battle. Go with the under.
