Key Details
Green Bay Packers
After a stunning win against their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers are looking to establish themselves as a top contender for the Super Bowl. The Packers offense has been improving with wins over the Bears and Lions in the NFC North and hopes to clinch the top seed. Green Bay is also having another strong year with its defense being in the top-tier of the NFC and NFL this season. With a balanced attack on offense with great players like Josh Jacobs and Jordan Love improving every game, the Packers won’t go down easily on Sunday.
Denver Broncos
The Packers are not easy to take down, but after winning against their rivals, the Denver Broncos could win on Sunday. Denver is on a tear with winning ten-games in a row, and could win their first AFC West title since 2015. The Broncos’ offense, while having flaws with Bo Nix being inconsistent, could have a strong game with veteran receivers and a solid run game. However, the Broncos’ biggest strength is in the defense, being one of the top defenses this season, allowing less than 18.1 points per game. Denver could upset bettors on Sunday with their strong defense against the Packers at home.Â
Prediction
While both teams are elite, with potentially their defenses needing to show out on Sunday, the Denver Broncos defense and veteran receivers could tip to their favor over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. The Broncos’ offense, while flawed with their quarterback and offensive playcalling, could win games due to managing the game. There is also the Broncos defense being slightly better than Green Bay in the season, and could turn the tide for them against Love and the Packers. Bettors should take the Broncos, even without them covering, because it could be a close game on Sunday in a playoff environment.
