This is my 10* THURSDAY NIGHT GOY on the BRONCOS on the MONEYLINE.

I'm going to suggest playing the Broncos on the MONEY LINE here on Thursday.

Denver is 3-3 SU, but 4-2 against the spread. It's off the 23-16 divisional home loss to the Chargers, snapping its three-game win streak. With a date vs. Carolina at home up next though, Denver's immediate schedule is manageable.

Bo Nix is definitely going through some growing pains, but I still trust him over the Saints' Spencer Rattler.

Nix should benefit here playing against this Saints defense which has lost four games in a row and just gave up 51 points to the Bucs last weekend in a pathetic performance.

Rattler will only be making his second ever start here in the NFL against likely the best defense he's ever seen in his entire life, as the Broncos are only allowing 16 points per game so far.

The Saints have injury issues on the offensive line and to key receivers like Olave as well.

Finally, note that the Saints have lost each of their last five Thursday night games, so this team just does not typically ever play well on the short week.

I think Denver should win handily, but my official call is to indeed bypass the spread and take DENVER on the MONEYLINE this Thursday night.

Good luck, NP
