The New York Jets will travel to take on the Green Bay Packers in a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NFL odds series, which includes a Jets-Packers prediction and pick, laid out below.
New York is riding high coming into this one, fresh off a 40-17 thrashing of the Miami Dolphins at home. That win last week brings the team to 3-2, nearly matching their four wins from the 2021 season. Zach Wilson has returned from his injury and could possibly be the answer for this franchise.
Green Bay lost in London to the New York Giants last weekend but still return to the United States with a 3-2 record. Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers still can turn this franchise around, but the talent surrounding Rodgers is questionable at best.
