Packers at Jets Predictions, Odds and Betting Picks
The Green Bay Packers are road favorites against the New York Jets after Green Bay opened the season with a 39-22 loss to Minnesota. The Packers are listed at -200 on the moneyline, while the Jets are +165, according to bet365. Green Bay's 419 yards per game rank 5th in the NFL, giving Jordan Love a strong statistical base to work from.
New York enters Week 2 at 1-0 after beating Tennessee 23-10. The Jets also lead the NFL in time of possession at 38:46 per game, while Breece Hall already has 102 rushing yards and one touchdown. These numbers shape the NFL Picks for a matchup where Green Bay has the stronger passing production but New York has shown it can control the clock.
Packers vs Jets Game Preview
Green Bay's offense produced 419 yards in Week 1, with Love throwing for 387 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. The Jets had 367 total yards in their opener, while Geno Smith completed 79.2% of his passes for 215 yards without a touchdown or interception. Those numbers give the Packers the bigger passing-volume edge, while New York has the better early time-of-possession figure.
The Jets will miss Minka Fitzpatrick (groin) and Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle), while five Packers are questionable. Both teams have normal rest after Week 1 at MetLife Stadium. The NFL Picks focus on Green Bay's 419 yards per game, while the NFL predictions also account for New York's NFL-best 38:46 time of possession. Trends in NFL team performance point to two contrasting offensive styles.
Packers vs Jets Moneyline Pick
Take the Green Bay Packers moneyline at -200 at bet365. Love threw for 387 yards in Week 1, while Christian Watson posted 147 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns. That passing attack gives Green Bay a clear path to pressure a Jets defense that already lost Fitzpatrick.
The price is steep, but Green Bay's 419 yards per game rank 5th while New York's offense finished with 215 passing yards from Smith in Week 1. The NFL predictions here lean toward the Packers because their passing ceiling is higher, even with the Jets coming off a 23-10 win.
Pick: Green Bay Packers ML (-200 at bet365).
Against the Spread Pick
Take the Green Bay Packers -3.5 at -110 at bet365. The 3.5-point number sits just above the key number of 3, so the bet needs Green Bay to create enough separation rather than simply win a close game.
Green Bay scored 22 points in Week 1 despite the loss, while New York scored 23 against Tennessee. The Jets also held the ball for 38:46, which limits the number of possessions available for a favorite to build a large margin. Green Bay's 3 sacks and 1 interception in Week 1 show enough defensive playmaking to create the extra possessions needed to cover.
Pick: Green Bay Packers -3.5 (-110 at bet365).

Packers vs Jets Game Total Pick
Take the Under 44.5 at -110 at bet365. New York's 38:46 time of possession ranked 1st after Week 1, and that clock control can reduce the number of total possessions even if the Jets move the ball efficiently.
The Packers had 3 sacks and 1 interception in Week 1, while Smith posted 215 passing yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs. With Green Bay scoring 22 points and New York 23, Trends in NFL team performance support a lower-scoring game if the Jets rely on Hall and long drives.
Pick: Under 44.5 (-110 at bet365).
