Packers Open as 4.5-Point Favorites at Jets

The line signals that injury updates will determine whether Green Bay can overcome the offensive-line problems exposed in Week 1

Overview

  • FanDuel opened the Week 2 market with the Packers favored by 4.5 points and the over/under set at 44.5, a combination that implies roughly a 24-20 Packers win.
  • The Jets started 1-0 after a 23-10 road win over the Titans in which rookies David Baily, Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper made key plays and Breece Hall rushed for 100 yards.
  • Omar Cooper left the Jets’ Week 1 game with an ankle injury and his status is a developing roster note that could affect New York’s game plan for the home opener.
  • Green Bay’s Week 1 loss to Minnesota highlighted interior offensive-line breakdowns that produced four late sacks and two turnovers, a problem oddsmakers expect the team to address before Sunday.
  • Key things to watch this week are Cooper’s injury updates, how the Packers adjust their interior line and whether the Jets’ pressure and run game can exploit Green Bay’s vulnerabilities, which would shift betting and on-field expectations.
