Stephen Nover's Sunday Night Annihilator
(NFL) Green Bay vs. Denver,
Point Spread: -2.50 | -123.00 Green Bay (Away)
Result: Loss
Both teams are 6-0 and off byes. The Packers' 6-0 is real. The Broncos' 6-0 is bogus.

Denver has had to battle in every one of its games. The Broncos ranked eighth in point differential despite not having lost.

The Broncos' offense has produced only nine touchdowns. The problems are a below average offensive line, mediocre running backs and a washed-up Peyton Manning.

Manning should have retired after last season. He ranks 31st in the passer ratings with a 72.5 ranking. He's tied for the most interceptions thrown with 10. He's as smart and savvy as ever, but he can no longer drive the ball and his accuracy is down. To be brutally honest, he's one of the worst starting quarterbacks in the league now. Sad, but true.

The Packers have a monster quarterback edge with Aaron Rodgers. Eddie Lacy and Davonte Adams should be at full strength, too.

Denver's home field and outstanding defense are definite pluses. However, they can't outweigh Green Bay's considerable offensive edge. Today's game is about offense not defense. The rules ensure that. Manning can't keep up with Rodgers.
