Packers vs Broncos Pick

Both teams come into week 2 of the preseason after very different weeks one. Neither team will see much action from their main players, as both have multiple guys expected to miss this game. Despite the lack of depth, look for Denver to do the job on both sides of the ball as they get the win and cover Friday night at home to stay undefeated in the preseason.
