💰 Packers vs. Jets prediction & best bet
Packers -3.5 (-110 via Caesars)
This point spread is an overreaction to Green Bay's late collapse while ignoring what the Pack succeeded at for the majority of their matchup against the Vikings.
I love the go-for-the-kill mindset that Green Bay's offense came out with, even if it eventually bit them in the butt. Jordan Love continuously stared down a scary Minnesota pass rush to go big-game hunting. In fact, only Lamar Jackson was more explosive as a passer in Week 1.
Grab Packers -3.5 while you can, but I would still back Green Bay by 4.5. The spread is likely heading there after opening at 5.5 before shortening following Green Bay's season opening loss.
📡 SBR Edge - Love breaks heart of opposing blitzes
Love averaged 18.4 yards per completion against the blitz-heavy Vikings last week. The Jets are another defense that likes to send extra rushers at QBs.
A healthy Watson makes Packers dangerous
The Packers' passing attack becomes a much-scarier unit when oft-injured wideout Christian Watson is available, as he showed in Week 1.
Watson went off for 147 yards and two touchdowns. He can take the top off any defense, which opens up opportunities for every other Green Bay pass-catcher. The Jets don't have the corners to take away all three of Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden.
Score prediction: Packers 23, Jets 17
