Packers Wire staff predictions: Week 2 vs. Colts

A narrow victory

The Packers will face off against the Colts this week, and our staff is predicting a narrow victory for Green Bay. Here's a look at our staff's picks: * Zach Kruse: Packers 24, Colts 20 * Ryan Wood: Packers 27, Colts 23 * Brandon Carwile: Packers 20, Colts 17 * Bill Huber: Packers 23, Colts 20 The Packers are coming off a disappointing loss to the Vikings in Week 1, but they'll be looking to bounce back against the Colts. The Colts are also 0-1 after losing to the Texans in Week 1. The Packers have a lot of talent on their roster, but they need to find a way to put it all together on the field. The Colts are a tough opponent, but the Packers should be able to pull out a victory if they play to their potential.

Key matchups to watch

There are a few key matchups to watch in this game that could decide the outcome: * **Packers pass rush vs. Colts offensive line:** The Packers have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL, and they'll need to put pressure on Colts quarterback Matt Ryan. The Colts offensive line is young and inexperienced, so they could be vulnerable to the Packers' pass rush. * **Packers secondary vs. Colts receivers:** The Colts have a lot of talented receivers, led by Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce. The Packers secondary will need to be on top of their game to slow down the Colts' passing attack. * **Packers running game vs. Colts run defense:** The Packers running game struggled in Week 1, but they'll need to get it going against the Colts. The Colts run defense is one of the worst in the NFL, so the Packers should be able to find some success on the ground.

Prediction

The Packers are a better team than the Colts, but they need to play better than they did in Week 1. If the Packers can put it all together, they should be able to pull out a victory. **Prediction: Packers 24, Colts 20**
