Broncos vs Packers Prediction
Denver comes into this matchup on a 10 game winning streak and they continue to win close games, as eight of those ten wins were by one score. The Broncos have a very strong defense, but their offense has been inconsistent this year. Green Bay has won four games in a row and they have scored at least 27 points in three of those four. The Packers are fighting in the very competitive NFC North and they are currently leading the division, but I can’t fade the Broncos, who seem to find a way to win no matter what. Take Denver to cover at home.
