With little noise but a lot of efficiency, the Jets are in second place in the AFC East, with some hope of keeping their good pace in their visit to Green Bay.
The return of Zach Wilson as the team’s quarterback appears to have given the offense a new attitude after scoring 40 points against Miami despite having just 322 total yards. While the work of the quarterback was important, the deployment of the running back corps was the key for the team as they finished with 135 yards and five touchdowns.
Defensively, things have also been going well for New York: against the Dolphins, they allowed less than 300 yards for the third time this season. Additionally, their 4.0 yards allowed per carry is the fifth-best figure in the league, a relevant fact before facing a Packers team that is tenth in average yards gained per run.
Betting on the Green Bay Packers
- Season record: 3-2.
- BetMGM Spread: -7.0.
- Moneyline: (-345).
- Over/Under: 46.
Doubts about the Packers’ offensive abilities this season grew after a loss to the Giants in England on Sunday.
While Aaron Rodgers recorded his fourth consecutive game with at least two touchdown passes, the MVP of the last two seasons is yet to record his first 260-yard passing game. In fact, the 97 points scored by the Packers is the 11th lowest figure in the league and against good defenses like the Buccaneers’ and Giants’, their red zone problems have been noticeable.
On the defensive side, the performance has also been average. While they have only allowed 96 points and their secondary has kept their opponents’ aerial game at bay, the opposition has feasted on the ground, with four games of more than 100 yards conceded.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite getting a breath of fresh air on offense with the return of Zach Wilson, the Jets have struggled to score this year against good defenses. The Packers haven’t been bad at stopping opponents, and they won’t let New York put up big numbers at home.
On offense, Rodgers has had a hard time adapting to a new group of receivers and their ground game has gained a lot of strength; however, the Jets’ defense is one of the best at stopping the ground attack.
Prediction: Under (NY 20 – GB 23).
