π° Packers vs. Broncos best bet
Broncos -5.5 (-110)
The Broncos have been one of the few NFL teams to value winning preseason games since Sean Payton took over in 2023, with the head coach telling reporters this week that "if they're keeping score, we want to win."
That has resulted in an 8-2 preseason record for Denver under Payton, with an average margin of victory of 16.4 points. Sign me up for another comfortable Broncos exhibition win, as I bet them to cover the 5.5-point spread at FanDuel's -110 odds. That's the smallest spread currently available among the best sports betting sites.
Score prediction: Broncos 26, Packers 13
π Packers vs. Broncos same-game parlay
I'm adding a total play to my best bet (Broncos -5.5) to create a 2-leg parlay at FanDuel's +273 odds. The Broncos enter having won eight straight preseason games, while the 40.5-point total is on the high end of what you'll see in the preseason. That makes it ripe for an Under, as these teams combined for just 29 points the last time they met in exhibition play.
