The Green Bay Packers are coming off a bye, and they’re a slight road favorite against the Denver Broncos this week. Denver’s defense has looked terrible, and I expect it to continue struggling. Let’s dive into the Packers-Broncos player prop markets to pick the best bet for Week 7, which is a bet on Jordan Love.

Packers-Broncos Player Prop Pick for Geno Smith
The Denver Broncos field one of the NFL’s worst defenses. It’s laughably bad. They have coughed up the most passing yards to quarterbacks per game this year (285.8). They have also surrendered the most expected points added (EPA) per dropback. Patrick Mahomes passed for 306 yards against them last week, Zach Wilson racked up 199, and Justin Fields put up 335. With the team selling edge rushers Randy Gregory and Frank Clark before the deadline, it’s only going to get worse from here. Denver’s defense already ranks last 31st in pass-rush win rate (32%).
We’re trusting Jordan Love to do some serious damage against the Broncos. If Fields can throw for 300-plus yards, what’s stopping Love from going off? Love is averaging 216.6 passing yards per game this season, which isn’t great, but the last time he faced a defense with a pass rush ranked similarly to Denver’s in pass-rush win rate, he threw for 259 yards against the Saints. Love has gone over the number where his prop total for passing yards is trading in three of his five starts on the year.

Love is also coming off a bye week, which means the Packers have had plenty of time to gameplan for the abysmal Denver defense. Running back Aaron Jones is listed as questionable for the game. If Jones is limited or can’t go, we can expect the Packers to pass at a higher clip. Green Bay ranks 11th in passing play percentage (59.7%) and third in passing play percentage over the last three games (65.2%). Back Love to throw for 250-plus passing yards at odds of +134 via FanDuel.
