The 2024 NFL season is flying by, and Week 7 is already set to begin, with the New Orleans Saints and Denver Broncos going through off for the primary time since Week 12 of the 2020 season. The 2020 season was distinctive for a number of causes, together with the dearth of followers in attendance at video games and the strict COVID protocols which had been in place.
These COVID protocols are a big a part of what made the 2020 matchup between these two groups so distinctive, because the Saints began Taysom Hill at quarterback whereas the Broncos had been compelled to begin receiver Kendall Hinton. That was required after Jeff Driskel examined optimistic for COVID, whereas Drew Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles had been all compelled into the COVID protocols as shut contacts after surveillance footage confirmed the trio did not comply with the social distancing protocols in place beneath the COVID Modification to the CBA.
This time across the quarterbacking is probably not significantly better, as Denver rolls in with rookie Bo Nix and the Saints come marching in with Spencer Rattler set to make simply his second profession begin. Nix and Denver are available favored by 2.5 factors in a sport that FanDuel Sportsbook doesn’t anticipate to see a lot scoring, with the over/beneath sitting at simply 37.5.
In any case, no one actually cares as a result of each these groups are horrible and neither is making the postseason, however the Saints are nearly sure to be fired as much as face off in opposition to their former head coach and will win outright. That mentioned, two offenses led by rookie quarterbacks is just not a recipe for a excessive scoring affair, so the beneath is the protected guess for this matchup.
