Throughout the course of the season we're highlighting the betting lines for every Packers game, both against the spread and the over/under. I'm going to make the case for each possibility, then choose one of each, and track my winnings (or losings) for every game. Here goes...

(For what it's worth, I'm using Danny Sheridan's odds.)

Line: Packers -12 1/2

• Bet the Packers: If there's a cure for the Packers' 31st-ranked pass defense, it might just be the Broncos offense. Denver ranks 22nd in the NFL putting up only 210 yards per game through the air. The Packers' No. 1 ranked run defense should have little trouble with the Broncos' 28th-ranked rushing attack, which puts up only 78 yards per game. And you know the Packers offense isn't capable of being stopped.
• Bet the Broncos: Denver might have a losing 1-2 record, but their two losses were by a total of six points. They lost 23-20 against Oakland and 17-14 to Tennesse showing that they've at least been in every game this season. Plus it's looking like they'll get a shot in the arm with a healthy Elvis Dumervil and Champ Bailey back in the lineup after missing time earlier in the season. Combined with Von Miller, the Broncos defense might be stouter than most anticipated. Some might say this is a trap game for Green Bay.

Final decision: Bet the Packers. Anything under a 14-point spread is looking good for Green Bay, especially with home field advantage.

Last week: I picked the Bears both straight up and against the spread and was wrong on both accounts. By winning on the road against a team with a pulse, the Packers has shown me they're awfully tough to pick against. I can't imagine predicting them to lose straight up until at least Thanksgiving, and maybe not even then.

Over/under: 46

• Bet the over: The Packers are averaging 33 points per game themselves with good balance between the running and the passing game. It's going to be pick your poison for the Broncos. Try stopping the run and Aaron Rodgers will beat them through the air. Try stopping the pass and it will open things up for the ground attack. There's a decent chance the Packers will near 46 points alone. Not only that, but with the Broncos facing one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, Denver quarterback Kyle Orton might have more success than usual. The Broncos wouldn't mind a shootout one bit.
• Bet the under: With Dumervil and Bailey back for the Broncos, the Packers will be more offensively challenged than usual. The Broncos offense has been sputtering all season long, and there's no reason to think they'll have a breakout game on the road against one of the best teams in the NFL.

Final decision: Bet the over. The Packers offense is too good to be stopped. And the Packers pass defense has been too inconsistent to not allow at least a couple scores by the Broncos.

Prediction: Packers 35 Broncos 14

Last week: I picked the under (46 1/2) and was correct. Slugfests seem to be the norm when the Packers and the Bears meet.

Overall vs. the line: 2-4

Overall straight up: 2-1
