Odds/Point Spread: New York Jets -4, Total Odds: 39.5
This game is vital for Gang Green because QB Aaron Rodgers will participate in his team’s first game. It’s great news for the first-half production since Rodgers should be able to score a few points while he’s in there. Meanwhile, the Jets must concentrate after the break following another late lapse in the Buccaneers game. In the game, New York had three turnovers and eight penalties for 75 yards. The offense produced only 281 total yards and 14 first downs, which wasn’t efficient. Even so, Rodgers should be able to put the Jets up, and if they can maintain their lead until halftime, their coverage should be enough.
