Denver Broncos vs. Green Bay Packers: Last Minute Spread Info and Predictions

The Green Bay Packers will host the Denver Broncos in what should be a less than entertaining game after halftime, unless you're a die-hard Packers fan that loves to see a lot of touchdowns. 

Denver is still a struggling team in the process of rebuilding, and the defending Super Bowl champs will easily control this game.

They have a few players banged up, but as long as Aaron Rodgers is under center the Packers will also be good to go. 

With that said, let's dig into some specifics of this Week 4 showdown. 

When: Sunday, Oct. 2 at 4:15 p.m. ET

Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis.

Watch: CBS

Spread

The Packers are favored at -13, and while that may seem like a lot of points you shouldn't worry about it because the Broncos don't stand a chance. 

This line is the biggest of the week, and rightfully so because this game will be Sunday's biggest blowout. Green Bay will dominate all day long and have no trouble covering the spread. 

Over/Under 

The over/under set is at 46. I like the over here just because the Packers are going to score a bunch. It's possible they stuff the Broncos' offense, but the Packer has shown they can be passed on, and that is Kyle Orton's speciality. 

Key Injuries 

The Broncos' have been banged up for weeks now and some big players have missed time. Champ Bailey (hamstring) and Elvis Dumervil (shoulder) remain questionable for Sunday, but Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) and D.J. Williams (elbow) are probable. 

Unfortunately, the Broncos will be without wide receivers Eddie Royal (groin) and Demaryius Thomas (finger) on Sunday, which adds pressure to their thin receivers core.

For the Packers, Ryan Grant (kidney) and Nick Collins (neck) are listed as out according to CBSSports.com. Packers players that are questionable for Sunday are Jermichael Finley (ankle), Clay Matthew (quadriceps), Tramon Williams (shoulder) and Charles Woodson (foot, knee). 

Fantasy Big Plays 

Aaron Rodgers and any of his weapons are obvious starts this weekend. The Bronco's are easily going to give up a ton of big plays to Greg Jennings and Finley if he plays. If Champ Bailey doesn't play again then things will only get worse. 

For the Broncos, the only good starts are wide receivers Brandon Lloyd and Eric Decker, but even that is questionable because only one is likely to get a touchdown.

Keys to a Green Bay Win 

 I could leave it at just show up and I'd be fine. This shouldn't be much of a game as the Packers are far and above the Broncos. Rodgers will do his thing and spread the ball to all of his teammates. His goal for this week though has to be no turnovers. 

Keys to a Denver Win 

Somehow the Broncos will have to stop Rodgers from airing it all over the place. The Packers excel at quickly moving the ball down the field, and the Broncos will struggle to find ways to slow them down. 

If the Broncos can get a steady run game going to keep Green Bay off the field then they'll be able to prevent the Packers from scoring so much. The key will be to dominate the time of possession and score touchdowns when in the red zone.

Prediction 

 The Packers won't have any problems on Sunday. Denver is banged up quite a bit on both sides of the ball, and they just don't have the talent to keep up with Green Bay. Not to mention that Denver isn't a very good road team.
