Jets vs. Packers Predictions For NFL Preseason Week 1, Saturday 8/9

Having already mentioned Aaron Rodgers, it’s only fitting to get right into more QB discussion. Rather than Rodgers, the Jets' preseason news is all about the QB battle between Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor.

Well, even if it’s not much of a “battle” with Fields being the presumptive starter, both of those guys are banged up with shoulder and knee injuries, respectively. Along with a dislocated toe earlier in training camp, Justin Fields has still expressed his desire to play in the preseason to get used to the new offense.

Keep in mind that he isn’t the only new guy in town - this will also be the Jets’ first season under head coach Aaron Glenn. The former Detroit Lions defensive coordinator has a restless fan base to try and make happy, and it’s going to be a tall task.

As for the Pack, all the buzz in Green Bay is about rookie WR Matthew Golden. Starting QB Jordan Love said that he came into the league already polished, which is great news for a team that has been plagued with young WRs dropping passes the past two seasons or so. Speaking of Love, you may expect the clear and established starter to not see preseason action.

Think again - head coach Matt LaFleur intends to give all QBs time under center, not to mention other starters. Something else worth noting about their preseason approach is that LaFleur will NOT be calling the plays.

Now that we’ve got some key info under our belt, it’s time to find a market for the best bet from our Jets vs. Packers predictions!
 

 

 

Jets vs. Packers Best Bet: Over 36.5 Points (-120 At Novig)

When it comes to betting markets that we even have at our disposal, the preseason doesn't lend itself to a ton of options. So, as much as we’d love to target some Jets vs. Packers player props, they simply aren’t in the card for us this weekend.

Instead, we’ve got our eyes on a higher-scoring game. That’s not the typical preseason approach, but neither is seeing BOTH teams playing their starters, including the key QB position. Before we fully dive in, if you see it become available like we did for earlier preseason games, we’d suggest considering just the Packers team total over.

Not only are they expected to give Love time under center, but the starters that are banged up for the Jets are their defensive linemen, so the ones that could have the most direct impact on him. Even still, we’re comfortable with the game total over.

First and foremost, we’ve seen the line go as high as 38.5 throughout the week, so getting some value here is always nice. We’ve also seen the Packers prone to some high-scoring preseason action under LaFleur. It was just last season when we saw them either score or allow 23+ points in all three preseason games.

That included 30 points of their own in the opener against the Baltimore Ravens, a team known to take the preseason very seriously. New York’s new head man, Aaron Glenn, may love defense, but we still have over 36.5 points (-120 at Novig) as the best bet from our Jets vs. Packers predictions!
