Preview: Packers at Broncos Features Top NFC, AFC Contenders DENVER (Interstat) — A potential Super Bowl preview unfolds Sunday at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park as the NFC North-leading Green Bay Packers visit the AFC West-leading Denver Broncos in a high-stakes interconference clash. Scheduled for Dec. 14, 2025, the game pits two of the NFL’s hottest teams. The Packers (9-3-1) arrive on a four-game winning streak, while the Broncos (11-2-1) have won five straight and eight of their last nine. Green Bay’s surge has been fueled by quarterback Jordan Love, who has thrown nine touchdown passes against zero interceptions during the win streak. In last week’s 28-21 victory over Chicago, Love was efficient, completing 17 of 25 passes for 234 yards and three scores. Running back Josh Jacobs adds balance, coming off a 86-yard rushing performance with a touchdown. Denver counters with its own dynamic quarterback in Bo Nix, who has been a model of consistency. Nix has completed over 70% of his passes in the last three games, adding crucial rushing production. He led a 24-17 road win at Las Vegas last week, accounting for a touchdown. The Broncos’ defense has been a cornerstone, allowing an average of just 17.5 points during their five-game streak. The venue, Dick’s Sporting Goods Park, typically home to MLS’s Colorado Rapids, will provide a unique atmosphere for this critical late-season NFL matchup. According to National Statistical’s game simulator, the Broncos are projected to win 28-22. Oddsmakers align with that view, installing Denver as a 2.5-point favorite. The over/under is set at 42.5 points. The matchup presents a classic contrast: Green Bay’s explosive offense, averaging 26.2 points during its streak, against a stout Denver defense that has repeatedly secured close victories. The Broncos have won four games this season by three points or fewer, demonstrating a knack for late-game execution. A Packers victory would solidify their NFC playoff positioning and serve as a statement against the AFC’s best. For the Broncos, protecting home field is crucial as they aim to secure a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. Both teams face short-week challenges ahead, with Green Bay set for a Friday game at Chicago and Denver hosting Jacksonville the following Sunday. The result of this showdown will resonate in both conference playoff pictures.
