Denver Broncos - Bo Nix Passing Yards Over 190.5 (-125)

Denver quarterback Bo Nix has thrown from 1,082 yards with an average of 180.3 yards per game but will be facing a New Orleans passing defense that is 29th in the NFL, allowing an average of 262.2 yards per game. New Orleans will also be without its starting quarterback which will mean the Saints will likely have more three-and-outs and less sustained drives, therefore, giving Nix more opportunity to increase his passing yardage.

New Orleans Saints - Team Points Under 17.5 (-110)

New Orleans is scoring an average of 27.8 points per game but will play its second straight week without starting quarterback Derek Carr. The Saints will also be up against a Denver defense that is allowing an average of only 16.0 points per game which is fourth-best in the NFL. I am convinced the Saints will be held to 17 points or less.
