Aaron Rodgers has not defeated a winning team on the road since 2013

First off, I don't think Rodgers comes close to Brady in QB status. Doesn't have the same tools and hasn't been around the league long enough. Manning is the worst QB in the league right now, but can make plays when he needs to, he is too old and should retire.

Having said that the Denver defense is scary good and best in the league in my opinion. How many times will Aqib Talib pick off Rodgers on Sunday? I bet he will at least once. That's just Talib, other defenders will get a piece of him too. Lacy aint exactly having the best year due to injury and Starks is banged up as well being just an average RB so don't expect an overabundance of running in this game on the GB side. I do think Denver runs a lot to slow down the game and not depend on Manning so much. Denver wins this one by a TD, GB is a trap this week and Vegas going to make a lot of money off of it.

See the point I'm trying to make which poolplayer calls hate is Denvers defensive backs are a big mismatch on the Packers wr where the packers d backs and there coverage is no big deal. That's why Denvers defense is light years ahead of green bays, green bays defense relies on one thing and that's pass rush otherwise they are are a so so defense and we haven't seen Green Bay play anyone good outside of Wisconsin yet. I'm really talking myself into denver

my 2 cents.

I'm a huge Manning fan. And yes this season looks like the end of the road.
To his benefit he has a better COMPLETE team around him now , then perhaps he has ever had. The Broncos have been winning with great Def + Mile High is a difficult place to get a win.

I'm aware it's been said but I feel strong about this too. Aaron Rodgers is not the same QB on the road as he is in the comfort of Lambo Field .


GB wins a great game 21-20.
Then next week at Carolina , GB gets spanked by 10pts + .

All that being said.
I see no value in betting this game.
The board has at least 2-3 better games to bet on where I feel a lot more confident in.

Good Luck :toast:

Weather will be great for football that nite. I am hoping over the break Kubiak gave Manning more control over the offense-the only way they have a chance. To me Rodgers is better than Brady. I think in the month of Nov. Denver plays GB/NE/Cinn- tuff games but I think all are at home


I suspect Mathews will be salivating if Peyton breaks the first huddle in the pistol..

Packers-Broncos Preview
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/packers-broncos-preview-214410652--nfl.html

By KEVIN MASSOTH (STATS Writer

Though two records stand exactly the same, and equally unblemished, one just doesn't have the same feel as the other.

While the Green Bay Packers remain a favorite in the NFC, questions swirl around the Denver Broncos despite an identical record on the opposite side of the league.

Which team is a true contender might become more clear Sunday night when the conference powers come off bye weeks to meet in Denver.


This is just the fourth time in NFL history that two undefeated and untied teams have met this deep into a season, the last happening in 2007 when New England (8-0) beat Peyton Manning and Indianapolis (7-0). Minnesota and St. Louis met with 6-0 records in 1973 with the Vikings winning, and the Akron Pros (7-0) and Buffalo All-Americans (6-0) played to a scoreless tie in 1921.

It just doesn't feel like a dominant season for Denver (6-0), which posted a 26-23 overtime victory at Cleveland on Oct. 18 that was fueled again by a defense that ranks toward the top of the league in most major categories.


That unit has scored a touchdown in four of six games while racking up 18 takeaways and 26 sacks by a dozen players.

''You've got two good defenses and two great quarterbacks,'' defensive end Antonio Smith said. ''Our job is to stop their quarterback. Their job is going to be to stop ours. It will be a battle of the defenses when you bring it back to the beginning.''

Denver is one point behind Green Bay for fewest allowed, but 20 of its 102 have come on a trio of pick-6s by Manning.


That's where the concern has crept in.

Manning has slumped with two touchdown passes and seven interceptions in the last three games. He hasn't thrown for 300 yards and his passer rating hasn't floated above 70 during that stretch.

''Hey, I want to play better every single week and I promise like all my teammates we're out here working hard, we're trying to get better and we want to do our part,'' Manning said. ''We know we need to play better, especially starting this week against Green Bay. Our defense has their hands full. Green Bay's going to make some plays offensively. We've got to do our part to score some points."
A rushing offense that ranks 30th at 85.0 yards per game hasn't helped. C.J. Anderson has been largely ineffective, and Ronnie Hillman seems to have taken over the No. 1 job after running for 111 yards against the Browns. The bye week should help the Broncos' banged-up offensive line return to form.

But with a grueling November ahead - including games against Indianapolis and New England - it remains to be seen if the Broncos can keep their pace. Denver's first six opponents hold a combined record of 13-27.

''We'll worry about Aaron Rodgers and then when Andrew Luck comes up, worry about him,'' linebacker Brandon Marshall said. ''If you can just focus on one game at a time, when you look up at the end you'll be right where you want to be.''

The Packers (6-0), who have won three straight against the Broncos, held off San Diego 27-20 on Oct. 18 and might feel a bit more comfortable where they are. It's not due to how well they've played, but instead because of what they might get back this week.


Wide receiver Davante Adams (ankle), nose tackle B.J. Raji (groin), safety Morgan Burnett (calf) and outside linebacker Nick Perry (shoulder/hand) returned to practice this week after missing the win over the Chargers.

''You definitely have to be very optimistic, knowing that we feel we haven't played up to our full potential as a team yet, but we're sitting here at 6-0,'' right guard T.J. Lang said. ''Obviously a lot of momentum on our side, a lot of confidence, and getting a couple key guys back for us this week is going to be huge.''

A player that might not suit up is James Starks, who has led Green Bay's ground game while Eddie Lacy has been hampered by an ankle injury. Starks was injured while rushing for 112 yards and a touchdown against San Diego, and his status is uncertain.


The good news is what coach Mike McCarthy says about how Lacy looks in practice. Lacy has started slow, totaling 260 yards on 67 carries, though he hasn't missed a game. He rushed for three yards on four carries against the Chargers.

''Well, he looks good, just watching him work out and watching his work Monday,'' McCarthy said before Wednesday's practice. ''Particularly in the individual stuff, that's where you try to really stress each position, so I don't think the injury is affecting him anymore.''

My 100 Dime selection is on Broncos over the Packers. The current line on this game is +3 in Vegas and Offshore. This line could range from +2 1/2 to +3 1/2 throughout the day. I advise buying the 1/2 up to +3, 3 1/2 or 4. Be sure to shop around for the best line available. :0003

These two teams are carbon copies of each other, both offenses have speed weapons. I think the Denver defense has the edge with Miller and Ware. They can make life hell for Rodgers. I'll take the home dog and the points under the lights at Mile High.
