<h2>NFL Betting Lines</h2>
<p>The Week 6 NFL betting odds opened Green Bay as a nine-point favorite over New York, with an over/under of right around 44. Early betting action had the spread moving around but it has settled back to -7.5 and the total 45 to 45.5 on most boards.</p>
<h2>Jets-Packers NFL Betting Preview</h2>
<p>New York is 3-2 on the season after beating rival Miami last Sunday 40-17. The Jets took the lead for good on a safety two minutes into the game and used two second-quarter touchdowns to lead 19-14 at the half. New York allowed the Dolphins to pull within 19-17 midway through the third quarter but pulled away with three fourth-quarters TDs for the victory.</p>
<p>The Jets won outright Sunday as three-point home dogs and cashed in on the money line at +145.</p>
<p>New York out-gained Miami 322-295, ran the ball for 135 yards, and won the turnover battle 2-0.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, the Jets came from behind in the fourth quarter to win at Pittsburgh 24-20. Three weeks ago, they lost in poor fashion to Cincinnati 27-12, but four weeks ago, New York came from behind in the fourth quarter to win at Cleveland 31-30. So the Jets are 3-1 in both SU and ATS their last four times out.</p>
<p>Green Bay, meanwhile, is also 3-2 on the season after blowing a 10-point halftime lead and losing to the Giants in London last Sunday 27-22. The Packers scored the first 10 points of the game and led 20-10 at the half. But Green Bay came up totally empty offensively in the second and let New York score 17 unanswered points on its way toward defeat.</p>
<p>Near the end, the Pack drove inside the New York 10-yard line but eschewed the run and had its last two passes batted down.<br />
Green Bay got out-gained by the Giants 337-301, out-rushed 125-94, and allowed New York to convert 6/11 on third downs.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, the Packers out-played New England but needed overtime to win 27-24. Three weeks ago, Green Bay won at Tampa Bay 14-12, and four weeks ago, it beat Chicago 27-10. So while the Packers aren’t exactly rolling, they have out-played three of their last four opponents.</p>
<h2>Jets-Packers Recent History </h2>
<p>These teams last met back in Week 16 of the 2018 season, a crazy but meaningless 44-38 Green Bay overtime victory at the Meadowlands. Aaron Rodgers threw for 442 yards that day for the Packers, while Sam Darnold threw three touchdown passes for New York.<br />

Jets at Packers Week 6 Prediction ATS

New York is coming off a big divisional rivalry win last week, but we should point out Miami was down to its rookie third-string quarterback. We consider the Jets candidates for a letdown this week. Green Bay, meanwhile, is coming off a pathetic second-half performance last week. We consider the Packers good candidates to rebound this week. Ultimately Green Bay owns the better running game in this match-up, the better quarterback, and probably the better defense. We’re playing the Packers here, minus the points.
