Brees continues to etch his name in the record book after recording his 55th career game with at least 300 passing yards and three touchdowns – the most in history – and became the first player to register 30 performances of 300 yards, three TDs and no interceptions. The 37-year-old is one scoring pass away from joining Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508) as the only quarterbacks to throw for 450 in their careers. Mark Ingram is coming off a 158-yard rushing effort that included a career-best 75-yard touchdown run, which also was the second-longest in franchise history.
New Orleans was a 41-23 winner in its last match on the road against the 49ers. They covered the -5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 64 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
Team record: 4-4 SU,6-2 ATS
New Orleans is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games
New Orleans is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of New Orleans’s last 6 games
While Denver is yielding a league-low 183.3 passing yards per contest, its own aerial attack is not faring well, as Trevor Siemian is completing only 59.8 percent of his attempts and has thrown for just 10 touchdowns, tying him for 16th in the league, with five interceptions. He has performed well on the road, however, recording eight TDs while being picked off only once in four contests. Devontae Booker has rushed for a touchdown in two of his last three games and ranks third among NFL rookies with 320 yards on the ground.
In their last action, Denver was a 30-20 loser on the road against the Raiders. They failed to cover the +1-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (50) was profitable news for OVER bettors.

Team record: 6-3 SU,6-3 ATS
Denver is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games
