NFL Predictions Week 4: Green Bay Packers Will Trample Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos are in for quite a beating this Sunday at the hands of the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers.

It's not necessarily meant as a slight against the Broncos as it is the proverbial lining up of the stars for the Green Bay Packers.

Everything seems to be going the Packers way right now, while on the other sideline they will be squaring off against a team with more drama than a soap opera.

Green Bay's offense is starting to fire on all cylinders, and the defense is starting to slowly regain their championship form.

Of course, the "any given Sunday" rule will always apply, but everything surrounding this game causes me to believe that the Packers are going to absolutely trounce the Broncos.

The Broncos are heading into the perfect storm. Here are three reasons they are in for a beat down of epic proportions:

Packers' Running Game

The Broncos are simply bad at stopping the run. They are giving up 100 yards on average so far this season, but that may not even be an accurate representation.

Conversely, the Packers' running game is starting to find its stride. It looks like Mike McCarthy is going to go with the hot hand between James Starks and Ryan Grant, which means the Packers' running game should at the very least be productive.

That's all Aaron Rodgers needs, though. When opponents are forced to respect the run, it gives Rodgers more time and space that he frankly doesn't even need to light up the defense.

Jermichael Finley

Finley has three touchdowns on the year so far. All three came last week against the Chicago Bears in an absolutely dominant performance.

Rodgers loves going to him, and honestly, what's not to love? He's bigger than most corners and quicker than most linebackers. The Packers can slip him out, put him on the line or even behind the line as a blocker.

Finley is one of the most versatile offensive weapons in the league, and I expect he's only going to grow in confidence and play-making ability as the year progresses.

The Broncos don't stand a chance at stopping him.

Home-Field Advantage

The Packers made their mark as road warriors on their way to the Super Bowl last season, but I think the magic of Lambeau may be starting to return.

Going back to 2010, the Packers have won six in a row on the frozen tundra. After winning the Super Bowl, the magic and aura seems to be returning to Lambeau, and home-field advantage seems to be back for the Pack.

Lambeau Field is a house of horrors for the road team once again.
