Transcript

00:00We got a preview, some Broncos, we got a preview, some Saints, and I got to give the

00:06Saints some credit.

00:07I mean, with third stringers in, they tried to give the Bucks a run for their money, almost

00:11snuck in there.

00:12So a lot can happen in this matchup with the Broncos.

00:15So let's jump right into it, Tom, what do you think we're going to see out of this Thursday

00:19night matchup?

00:20Oh, we're going to see probably a lack of scoring because 36 and a half over under is

00:28pretty light.

00:29One and a half points spread in favor of the Broncos, the road Broncos, that is obviously

00:33the storylines for this, Sean Payton returning to New Orleans.

00:39I wouldn't be surprised if this game ends 17 to 10, and I've said that before, but this

00:45time I mean it because Spencer Rattler, while he looked good, and I spoke about him relatively

00:49highly last night when we did some of the recaps, we know that Chris Olave did not finish

00:57the game against the Bucks.

00:58He also was listed as a do not, did not practice today, concussion, short week, him being evaluated

01:04yet to be seen.

01:05Rashid Shaheed, according to Ian Rappaport, is dealing with a knee injury that is quote

01:09unquote very concerning.

01:11Two best weapons in a pass catching game without, you know, Kamara are now highly in question

01:17for Thursday.

01:18We have a third string quarterback.

01:19What we see from the Saints on offense could be a big mystery and it could be a big Kamara

01:24game.

01:25But the Broncos defense has been at least somewhat solid, the majority of the season,

01:30not necessarily last week versus the Chargers.

01:32On the other side, the Broncos offense was a complete disaster last week with Bo Nix

01:36at the helm.

01:38What we see from this game, we need to wait for injury updates.

01:41If we see a lack of scoring, an absolute snooze fest, I'm not gonna be surprised.

01:47This may be one of the worst Thursday night games we do all year.

01:50I know.

01:52You put it that way, Tom.

01:53Like, I'm glad we had this game and this Monday night matchup to at least kick off the week

01:58because yeah, I don't know what we're gonna get out of that one.

02:01And even if some of these guys come up healthy, they're pretty banged up.

02:05So still, I mean, rep protection or how long they're gonna be able to last in these games

02:09if they tend to overuse them.

02:11So there's just too many questions coming into play, a little messy on both ends regardless.
