Thursday Night Football, Hold Your Nose and Turn it on

Remember eight weeks ago when you would have done almost unspeakable acts to see football on your TV with the world's best players playing in meaningful games? Time sure does fly as this week’s matchup features Sean Payton in his return to New Orleans  versus arguably the most forgettable coach in the NFL, Dennis Allen. While the storyline off of the field is quite compelling, and I'm sure there will be no fewer than seven different stories about it featured in the pregame show, the product on the field may be the final nail in the coffin for Al Michaels. This game features two rookie quarterbacks in Bo Nix and Spencer Rattler who have shown flashes of competence but have also left something to be desired in their limited time in the league. Nix looked impressive in the win down in Tampa but for most of last week’s game he looked like a mobile Joey Harrington. Rattler saw his first action stepping in for an injured Derrick Carr and had the ups and downs that you’d expect from a rookie QB. Now I am going to try and stay positive and say this game will not be as bad as the Colts versus Broncos game of 2022 that ended in a 12-9 OT win for the Colts and featured a grand total of 0 TDs throughout the ENTIRE game but let’s expect the defense to dominate a majority of the highlights. Looking at this game there are only two outcomes, an electric game with defensive TDs and big plays or an absolute snoozefest. If you don’t have a dawg in the fight watching this game these bets standout that can help make this a little more enjoyable.
