Yeah, the Saints just do feel like all right.
What, what did you say you do here?
New Orleans Saints.
That’s how I kind of feel when I watch this tape.
All the props I like are like unders even if I or well, unless it’s like interception overs like both teams because if we want to just get into that.
Ok. Well, both quarterbacks are rookies.
I don’t think that’s what’s surprising.
Bo Nix and Spencer Rattler both struggle against the blitz.
If you watch the second half of the Saints game against the Bucks.
Todd Bowles goes.
Oh yeah, you’re a rookie blitz time and yeah, rattler rattler looked rattled back there first half though.
That’s some nice moments.
I will say that he looked about as good as you can ask for for 1/5 round rookie.
He looked like he belonged.
It wasn’t, it wasn’t too much for him as far as like when things were going, ok, which is alright, Nick sometimes when things were even going.
Ok, it looked a little rough.
So um, so like all the stuff I like it’s kind of like chaotic quarterback stuff.
You want to guess what the odds are on Spencer rattler over like 0.5 interceptions.
You want to guess what the odds are unless you have it pulled up.
I, well, is it like, minus 150?
Well, it’s only 130 mate, please.
But, yeah, MGM minus 130 for the year.
I do like that.
I do like that.
I like both over interceptions over a half interception because both of these defenses are aggressive.
They’re blitz happy.
Dennis Allen has some, you know, he’s a Greg Williams guy has some of that bowls in him where he’s gonna be blitz happy against rookie quarterbacks.
Like he has a little bit of that in him.
B Nicks isn’t any different and I, I think both of these teams are, they’re run first teams.
So if you want to look at any of those, uh, uh those metrics, but if you look at like stuff like over 5.5 rushing attempts for Bo Knicks because he’s gonna feel chaotic and scramble, you know, like I could see that like that being a possibility for this team, but I’m not, you know, it’s, it’s gonna be a weird game.
It’s gonna be a Thursday night Classic.
So hopefully everybody and I mean that like classic in the sense of a Colts Broncos from last year Classic.
I remember where you remember where you were type of game where Al Michaels is going.
Like, why did I take this?
Why did I do this?
