00:00Denver, two and a half point favorites at New Orleans.
00:08So I thought personally, Mike, looking at this game, that the Broncos went on the road.
00:15They won two games in a row.
00:16I thought they were going to play better against the Chargers.
00:18They did not.
00:19But somehow they're two and a half point favorites at the Saints, who I thought in watching the
00:24game last week, this is why I'm like shaking my head a little bit.
00:26I thought the Saints played really well offensively in the first half.
00:30Now, Mike, if you're going to tell me that their defense is just the worst in the NFL
00:33and that's why they're two and a half point dogs, then I will say OK.
00:36But the total is only 36 and a half.
00:38So help me make sense of this one.
00:40Yeah, that's the part that really threw me because we're talking about a team in the
00:45Saints that just gave up 51.
00:47I think Tampa Bay is a really good football team, but 51 points is a ton in the NFL.
00:54So I think that has a lot to do with why the line is where it is, the fact that they just
01:00gave up 51.
01:01But it is surprising to see the total so low with that being the issue.
01:07What they're saying is neither of these teams can score.
01:10And even if the defense is bad on the one side, Denver is still going to struggle.
01:15And honestly, that's been proven out as well over the course of the year.
01:20They've not been able to produce points.
01:22They have been able to squeeze out a few wins, but usually with low production, I suspect
01:27that's what's going to happen here, too, even though it's a road game.
01:30I just I never bought the Saints preseason hype, but still kind of look at them as even
01:36being disappointing.
01:38I know that's kind of but so many people thought they were going to be effective this year.
01:43And I know their car's not there now, but a car they were they were two and three with
01:48a car and not playing that well at all.
