Saints vs Broncos Prediction
I’m on the Broncos here. I know it’s going to be interesting to see how the Broncos dole out snaps in week 3 of the preseason, but we’ve seen the Broncos look really strong despite little to no sight of Bo Nix. Knowing that he’s the option for Denver in week 3. 1.
The Saints still have stuff to figure out, which is a tad bit concerning for them, but I think that the Broncos still are the better team. While that mindset could breed motivation for the Saints, I think it also leaves a lot of question marks, and ones I’m not sure if they can answer here. Give me Denver.
