Green Bay certainly seems like the better team on paper. Denver has started their season 0-2 after a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of the Chicago Bears. The Packers defeated the Bears in Week 1 by a final score of 10-3.
Matt LaFleur and the Packers showed flashes of a big-time offense in the first quarter and some of the second quarter against the Vikings. In the second half, however, Green Bay was unable to score a point and nearly allowed the Vikings to steal the game. Green Bay's defense stepped up and made some big plays to secure the win.
Denver has some good pieces, especially on the defensive side of the football. Green Bay will have to deal with Von Miller and Bradley Chubb doing everything they can to hit Aaron Rodgers. They will also have to slow down running back Phillip Lindsay after giving up a huge game to Vikings running back Dalvin Cook.
All of that being said, Green Bay is currently favored to win and Packers fans can't wait to see their team take the field looking to go 3-0 to start the season.
