00:00week 7 of the 2024 NFL season kicks off tonight in New Orleans. It's the Saints and the Broncos
00:10two and a half point spread in favor of the road team short week Thursday traveling away
00:15from home Denver the favorite in the big easy total is minimal just 36 and a half again
00:23the breakdown of this game could be fascinating could be infuriating if you're going to buy
00:29into either of the two rookie quarterbacks either for offensive production points on
00:34the board or just trusting one to lead his team to a victory seventh career start all
00:40seven games this year for Bo Nix and Denver second career start for Spencer Rattler and
00:47the Saints of course it should be a homecoming of sorts tonight in New Orleans as Sean Payton
00:53makes his return to the big easy for the first time as Denver's head coach spent 15
00:59years as the Saints head coach is the winningest all-time head coach in the history of this
01:04New Orleans franchise the longest tenured head coach in the history of this Saints organization
01:10won them a Super Bowl in 2009 nine playoff appearances as well so the RS with all of
01:19that stewed into one what do you expect Thursday night football to look like in New Orleans this
01:24evening and probably sloppy and getting us back to the point where we would say so many years why
01:30we do Thursday football it's a terrible product and we might get that tonight now granted it's
01:34only 36 and a half they could get over that total but when we're looking for the smoothness of the
01:38game I don't think we're having too many like hey there's gonna be a lot of big plays on New
01:41Orleans who's making those big plays downfield because if it is a lot of Alvin Kamara that means
01:45a lot of clock turning the same thing with the Denver Broncos on the opposite side the goal for
01:49these two teams is not entertain the home audience like it's you know a wrestling match here it's who
01:54can get the win if it's 6 to 3 or 26 to 23 it doesn't matter to them so that's the way I try
02:01to play it out but also is when Tom was talking with us as well you are getting some deep discounts
02:06on player props that wouldn't be this deeply discounted because that total does sit at 36
02:10and a half that's where you can have some fun with but I guarantee you this including myself
02:14to be a lot of people out there just outsmarting themselves going for options that aren't really
02:18number one options buying low on players just because they need a catch or two to get over
02:23that number I don't think you can probably go wrong by taking starting running back on each
02:27team in this game because I don't think either one of these teams is going to run away with it
02:31and if it is lower scoring that means you're playing a little bit closer to the vest here
02:35they should get their carries but I do think some of the wide receivers do deserve some attention
02:40particularly on a team that you might not think is going to win for me the Saints I don't think
02:44they win so I do think there is some value in those low totals for a tight end and certainly
02:48my guy above it wide receiver.
