2024 Week 7 NFL Picks

Thursday Night Football

Denver Broncos (-2.5) v. New Orleans Saints

I jumped on this once Rashid Shaheed was hit with a “troubling” injury that could send him to the IR. No Derek Carr. No Rashid Shaheed. No Chris Olaave. No Taysom Hill.

And this offense is playing the 4th-ranked defense, according to PFF.

I like Spencer Rattler (drafted him with a 4th-Rd pick in a dynasty fantasy football league), but this is a tough spot for a guy prepping for his second start.

Bc not only is Rattler facing a vaunted defense (sans Pat Surtain) on a short week, but he’s also facing the former New Orleans head coach who installed Dennis Allen into this franchise alongside several of its key players. He knows this team very well. Spencer Rattler is still learning professional football!

Pick: Denver -2.5, Win: Denver
