00:00The Packers are two-and-a-half-point favorites against the team in Denver.

00:03Kind of like New England, Mike, in a way.

00:04They're going to end up winning like 14, 15 games

00:06and maybe still underdogs in the playoffs

00:08because of the trust factor, I guess, there with Denver.

00:11And they've played a lot of close games.

00:12I expect this one to be as well.

00:14We'll keep an eye on Josh Jacobs running back on the Packers.

00:18If I'm not mistaken, I think the Packers play the Bears next week.

00:23So that is really the game that's going to determine the division.

00:26Is this a look-ahead?

00:28They can't look ahead with Denver.

00:29We know Denver plays great defense here.

00:33The Packers can't look ahead

00:34because they're still chasing down the one seed.

00:37They could get to 13, 3, and 1 and be the one seed.

00:42The Rams still have to play the Lions and the Seahawks this season.

00:46So there are losses out there for the other teams in the NFC.

00:51I don't think they can let up.

00:53I've been really encouraged the last couple of weeks

00:56by the way Jordan Love has played in particular.

00:58And this Packers offense, remember when they were 2-0 and people like me

01:03that said they might make the Super Bowl or pound it in our chest would be like,

01:06see, I knew it.

01:07And then the offense went away for two months, at least with this consistency,

01:13went away for two months.

01:14These last two weeks against the Lions and then the Bears,

01:19I think were really encouraging in terms of seeing their upside,

01:24their ability to have an explosive run game,

01:26whether it's Jacobs or Emmanuel Wilson.

01:29And that offense with Christian Watson,

01:31sometimes it's hard to put your finger on the Packers offense

01:34because there's a lot of targets out there.

01:38Jaden Reed coming back from an injury,

01:39but Christian Watson scores two touchdowns.

01:41Before that, two touchdowns.

01:43Before that, it's Dontavian Wicks and Luke Musgrave in the mix

01:48with Tucker Kraft out.

01:49I think sometimes it's hard to put your finger

01:51on what exactly are they trying to do here

01:53because there's no alpha in the pass-catching game.

01:57But for me, it's a huge victory for them

02:00in terms of seeing the upside for this team long-term.

02:07I think they go on the road and get the victory here.

02:09I'm bullish on the Packers right now.
