The Green Bay Packers (+3) make their way into the Mile High State to take on the Denver Broncos (-3) for Monday Night Football.

The Denver Broncos are coming off an impressive win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. QB Jay Cutler played great completing 22 of 29 passes for 248 YDS with 2 TDs. Cutler threw up two interceptions but that didn’t bother him as he made the final drive down the field to set up the winning field goal for his kicker. A big stat on the day was the Broncos ability to convert 7 of 10 3rd downs. RB T.Henry had 17 runs for 51 YDS along with Cutlers 41 yards rushing. The Broncos utilized many of their receiving core to confuse the Steelers defense. The Broncos are 2-2 at home.

The Green Bay Packers are coming off their bye week after previously beating the Redskins. The Packers are averaging 23 points a game, which is ninth best, and they have the second best pass yard average, 273 YDS. QB Bret Favre has thrown for 1,715 YDS along with 9 TDs. One thing Favre will need to improve on is his interceptions, they’re killing the Packers. The Packers are 2-0 on the road this year.
Bottom Line: After the Broncos put on an impressive show last week against the Steelers, I’m sort of leaning towards the Broncos here. The Packers have a tough defense but it’s their offense that scares me. Favre throws interceptions when he’s pressured.

Sorry Packers, but I’m going with the Broncos! To bet the NFL go to BodogLife now.
