Green Bay Packers: Best Case Record Prediction
By John Toth
Week 3: Vs Denver Broncos
The last time the Packers played the Denver Broncos it was in Mile High when NFL great Peyton Manning was still under center, and boy did he decimate us. However, Denver has went from Super Bowl Champions to a bottom barrel team in not just the AFC, but the league all together.
Vic Fangio was brought on as their head coach, and us Packer fans couldn’t be happier than we don’t have to play his defense twice a year anymore. The Broncos defense will certainly be better under Fangio; he gets to go from having Khalil Mack to Von Miller, but their offense will likely be the same.
Joe Flacco was traded to them from Baltimore in the offseason, and I don’t see him making a big impact. Besides, he has no one to throw to besides a washed up Emmanuel Sanders and an inconsistent Courtland Sutton. Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman are an interesting back tandem, but as long as Green Bay contains Lindsay and force Flacco to throw, they should win soundly.
