Early Saturday, the Broncos entered their Week 12 game against the Saints as six-point underdogs. Then all of Denver’s quarterbacks were disqualified from playing due to COVID-19.
Needless to say, oddsmakers felt that a lack of QBs was going to hurt the Broncos’ chances.
New Orleans is a 14-point favorite to win at Empower Field at Mile High Sunday, according to BetMGM. SportsBetting.com gives them the same spread.
The Saints have an even better advantage on Bovada, where they are a 14.5‑point favorite over the Broncos.
Oddsmakers are expecting a defensive battle on Sunday with a combined over-under between 36 and 36.5 points.
