The Green Bay Packers (2-3, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U) are on the road to battle the Denver Broncos (1-5, 0-5-1 ATS, 4-2 O/U) in an inter-conference bout on Sunday afternoon. The Packers lost to the Raiders in week five and had their bye last week. The Broncos were dealt a road loss by the Chiefs in their previous bout. Green Bay beat Denver in the previous meeting in 2019.
The Green Bay Packers are striving to avoid a third straight loss. The squad was 2-1 after three games including wins against the Bears and Saints but have lost two consecutive bouts. They were obliterated in an ugly 34-20 home loss to the Lions in late September and were two-point dogs in a narrow 17-13 road loss to the Raiders. The squad had an early bye last week. The Packers have covered the spread in three of their five games on the season.
Jordan Love has not been able to produce with consistency. The 24-year-old QB posted 259 passing yards against the Saints and 245 yards against the Lions but chucked three picks against the Raiders. Love has recorded 1083 passing yards along with an 8:6 TD to INT ratio on the season.
Aaron Jones has only played in two games due to injury. He did not play against the Raiders and is questionable with a hamstring injury. The good n ews is he was practicing with the squad on Thursday. AJ Dillon will be relied on if Jones doesn’t play. Dillon has been subpar, amassing 194 rushing yards on only 3.0 yards per rush.
Romeo Doubs has been a bright spot. The 23-year-old WR leads the squad with 228 receiving yards while Jayden Reed has 210 yards. The Green Bay offense needs improvement. They are only averaging 281 total yards and have netted 20 or fewer points in three consecutive games.
