Saints/Broncos Betting Trends

Although legal sports betting sites are all in on the Broncos as a road favorite, betting trends and season stats might suggest something else. Getting right into it, Denver has struggled tremendously when betting sites have them listed as a slight favorite and while on the road.

In the Broncos last ten games as a favorite between 1-3 points on the road, they boast a measly record on 3-7 outright, 2-7-1 against the spread, and 4-6 against the over in points. On the other side, the Saints NFL odds as a 1–3-point underdog at home sit at a better 5-5 overall record and 5-4-1 record against the spread.

From A Statistics Standpoint

On paper, the stats are all in favor of the Saints absolutely running away with this one. New Orleans has the fifth highest scoring offense in the league right now at 27.8 ppg while Denver looks lost on offense at 18.7 ppg.

Denver is also struggling to move the ball at all in their games. They are in the bottom 10 in both passing yards per game (170.8) and rushing yards per game (107.3).
