Green Bay Packers vs. Denver Broncos

The undefeated Denver Broncos will be at home in Mile High Stadium for Sunday Night Football as they welcome the also unbeaten Green Bay Packers to town for a meeting between two of the league’s best. Von Miller and the Denver defense will hope to remain dominant against the always dangerous Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking the Packers and the struggling Eddie Lacy at running back. However, the Broncos will need Peyton Manning and the weapon-filled Broncos offense to play much better than they have as of late if they want to remain without a blemish on their record coming out of Week 8.

Keys to Victory

The Broncos defense has been their biggest strength this season and the reason that they’ve failed to lose a game yet to this point. However, the key for Denver against the Packers is going to be for Peyton Manning, Ronnie Hillman, and the rest of the Broncos offense to take advantage of an inconsistent Packers defense. Hillman and C.J. Anderson will be huge in this game as Green Bay has sometimes been susceptible to being beaten in the running game. The Denver backs and the offensive line will need to be at their best.

It may be cliché, but the key for the Packers is and always will be Aaron Rodgers. The Broncos should cause the ailing Green Bay rushing attack even more problems and should be able to get pressure on Rodgers even. However, Rodgers has proven time and again that he can still beat teams even when he’s under duress. He’s almost surely going to be under fire in this game, so him showing that form once again on Sunday night will be enormous for the Packers’ chances of winning.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: Green Bay Packers -2.5
Moneyline: Green Bay Packers -120, Denver Broncos +100
O/U: 45.5

Prediction

Despite the offensive talent in this game, I think that this one stays relatively low scoring, coming down to a few key possessions. Given what I’ve seen this season, though, I like Rodgers in the Packers if it comes down to a team needing a big score to get a victory.

Final Score: Green Bay Packers: 17, Denver Broncos: 13
