Tonight, 5:15. TV: Amazon Prime Video
Line: Broncos by 2½. O/U: 36½.
The Saints have lost four in a row and gave up 51 to Tampa Bay, so they’re nothing special. Still, with Sean Payton’s return, the dome is going to be rocking for a Broncos team that’s really struggling offensively.
Pick: Saints 17, Broncos 13

Sunday, 6:30 a.m. TV: NFL Network
Line: Jaguars by 5½. O/U: 42½.

Pick: Patriots 21, Jaguars 18

Pick: Lions 30, Vikings 27
