Packers vs. Broncos, Week 7: Pick against the spread
Green Bay (2-3) comes in well-rested after their bye in Week 6, and will look to rid the taste of their loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite Jordan Love still looking to get his footing in Matt LeFleur’s offense, the Packers are still scoring at a clip of 22.6 PPG, which ranks 13th in the league.
Green Bay’s offense could finally be at full strength this week, with running back Aaron Jones potentially making his return on Sunday from a hamstring injury.
Denver (1-5) oddly enough finds themselves in familiar territory following their 2022 season debacle. The Broncos are firmly in last place in the AFC West, but curiously, their offense hasn’t been the lone culprit. Denver ranks 17th in scoring (21.5 PPG), but their defense is dead last in allowing 33.3 PPG this season. The partnership between Sean Payton and Russell Wilson has yet to reap benefits and will remain under close watch as the season progresses.
The Packers are 3-2 against the spread this season, while the Broncos are 0-5-1 this year, including a 0-3 mark at home. In what is essentially a pick’em game, Green Bay enters as the more efficient team on both sides of the ball. If Jones is back, it also gives them the advantage in the backfield. Until the Broncos show some cohesion or at least signs of life, take the Packers to notch the win on the road.
