By ATSSportsline.com
DENVER, CO (ATS Consultants) – Many are expecting a shootout tonight when the Broncos host the Saints, but will the combined score fall under the total?

Line Movement: The Broncos opened as a 5-point favorite but the spread has been bet up to 6 at most sports books. The total, meanwhile, opened at 54.5 and was bet up to 55.5.

NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take the under. According to latest NFL trends, Denver is 2-5 Under last 7 following a bye week and 1-6 Under last 7 after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game. This total should move up by game time. New Orleans finally has the real interim head coach back as Joe Vitt takes over for the rest of the year. He’s really a defensive guy which should help one of the worst defenses in the league. For whatever reason, the Broncos usually get off to a slow start in the first half. Denver’s pass defense allows just 215.3ypg (10th), so expect this one to be a little lower scoring than expected.
