The highly anticipated Week 7 matchup between the Denver Broncos and the Green Bay Packers is set to take place at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday. As the teams gear up for the battle, the odds and predictions have been revealed.

Both teams are looking to bounce back from recent losses and secure a win that can turn their season around. The Broncos are still in search of their second win of the season, coming off a disappointing 19-8 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, the Packers are aiming to regroup after a bye week following their 17-13 defeat against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET and the game will be broadcasted on CBS. For those unable to catch the game on television, Paramount+ offers live streaming in select markets. In fact, Paramount+ is offering a free trial period of seven days, allowing fans to watch the game without any additional cost.

According to the latest odds, the Packers are listed as 1-point favorites over the Broncos. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 45, indicating a predicted low-scoring contest. It's worth noting that the Broncos defense has struggled this season, providing an opportunity for Green Bay quarterback Jordan Love to bounce back after a subpar performance against the Raiders.

Ahead of the game, SportsLine's advanced computer model has made its prediction. The model, which has a successful track record, has simulated the game 10,000 times and has generated over $7,000 in winnings for $100 bettors on top-rated NFL picks. In the 2023 season alone, the model boasts an impressive record of 172-120 on top-rated NFL picks.

For the Broncos vs. Packers matchup, the model is projecting a total of under 45 points to be scored. This projection is based on the fact that Green Bay's offense has been averaging just 281.6 yards per game, ranking them fifth-lowest in the league. Although the Broncos' offense, led by quarterback Russell Wilson, has shown flashes of brilliance, it has been inconsistent. Furthermore, the Broncos' struggling defense could give Love the opportunity to shine.

As both teams find themselves in survival mode, fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive, the model suggests that a high-scoring game is unlikely. Fans can expect a battle of defenses, with each team trying to grind out a victory.

In conclusion, the Broncos vs. Packers showdown in Week 7 is set to be a tightly contested low-scoring affair. With the odds slightly in favor of the Packers, the game could come down to defensive prowess. Fans can catch all the action by tuning in to CBS or streaming on Paramount+ with a free trial.
