Why the Packers should cover -3.5 against the Jets in NFL Week 2 after their Vikings collapse
We’ve got our second week of action in the NFL, and that means there is a full slate of action for us to chew on for betting.
Last week was an okay week overall for football betting, but I’m looking to go perfect on today’s plays.
The first action I have is in the early set of games as the Packers take on the Jets.
I was down on the Green Bay Packers coming into this season.
I didn’t think they advanced very much in the offseason, and I felt like they were likely to take a step back as the rest of the division tries to get better.
It is a tough division, with no true dog in the race.
They all have a realistic shot at making the postseason, just as they did last season.
It certainly was not the ideal start for Packers fans as they dropped their opener.
In Week 1, they took on the Minnesota Vikings , and Green Bay looked really good in the first half.
They were up 19-10 at halftime.
They even started the game with an interception of Kyler Murray on his first pass as a Viking.
Murray was later injured, and the Packers couldn’t prevent a massive second half from Carson Wentz, who threw for 133 yards on 12-for-19 passing with three touchdowns.
It certainly didn’t help that the Packers gave up two turnovers, but allowing 39 points when an opposing team has just 239 yards is pretty embarrassing.
The Jets had a much better opening week, but they did play an inferior opponent.
