Broncos vs. Packers: How to watch, kickoff, TV schedule, odds, injury report and more

Heading into Week 7, the Denver Broncos still do not have a home win this season and will play their fourth home game today against the Green Bay Packers. Can they finally get into the win column in front of their hometown crowd?

Game Preview

That home record is the theme this week as the Packers represent one of Denver’s best chances to get a home win over the next month. Head Coach Sean Payton was asked about the importance of getting a home win and he clearly is fed up with the losing as well.

“I just told them I am tired of sitting at the podium and talking to you guys about not playing well at home,” Payton said on Friday. “Yeah, it’s time. We have a good home field [advantage]. We have a great tradition at home, crowd noise, and all those things that can help us. We need to take advantage of it.”

He went on to talk about officiating and how this crew calls fouls. Payton noted that this officiating crew is very hard on fouls committed at the line of scrimmage and we all know how well Denver has done avoiding those...

“Now, this crew that’s officiating this weekend—of 17, they are second in fouls called at the line of scrimmage,” Payton continued. “I could go on and on. We have to be smart at the line of scrimmage and take advantage of the noise.”

To win this game, Denver needs to play good football on both sides of the ball. If the defense is poppin’ then the crowd will definitely be into it and all the offense has to do is get some points. The problem is, they haven’t really played complementary football yet this season, so there are no guarantees they will this time.

Here’s how to watch.

Broncos-Packers Betting Odds

According to DraftKings Sportsbook, the Broncos opened 2-point home underdogs to the Packers in Week 7. That line has steadily shifted in favor of Denver and now stands at just a single point with an over/under at 45. I have been flip flopping on this line. I picked Green Bay initially, but then switched my pick to a Broncos win in our score predictions post on Saturday.
