The Broncos fell to the Chargers at home last week 23-16 in a game in which they fell behind 20-0 at halftime and were down 23-0 in the fourth quarter. A late rally came up short, but the Broncos were never really in the game. It was a disappointing performance after a three game winning streak. Now, Denver heads to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Thursday Night Football. It is the return of Sean Payton to New Orleans, so much of the hype and hoopla surrounding this game will be centered on that storyline. I know the Saints are really banged up, but the Broncos have a key injury with Pat Surtain. He suffered a concussion against the Chargers, and he will not be able to play in this game. I just don't trust the Broncos on the road on a short week to get the job done in the Superdome on TNF. I also don't see the Saints losing five in a row after a 2-0 start.
Prediction: NEW ORLEANS (-2.5) over Denver
Final Score: Saints-24 Broncos -17
