The over is 13-6 in Jets last 19 games overall. The under is 6-1 in Packers last 7 games in Week 6. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings.
I’m not a big believer in the New York Jets, but they’re finding ways to win, and they have a lot of young players who are getting after it. The Green Bay Packers are the better team, but the passing game isn’t as effective as it’s been in years past, and their defense can’t stop the run. Also, the Packers are fresh off a trip to London, and that travel and quick turnaround can’t be great on the players. Laying a full touchdown seems to be a bit rich given how the Packers are playing and the travel. I’ll grab the free touchdown.
