New York Jets vs Green Bay Packers: Predictions for the Jets home opener
Follow
Following a Week 1 triumph over Tennessee, the New York Jets return to MetLife Stadium for their home opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, September 20. Green Bay enters the matchup favored by 3.5 points despite coming off a Week 1 stumble, setting up an intriguing battle between two franchises tied to Aaron Rodgers.
To counter the visitors, Jets coach Aaron Glenn carries extensive divisional familiarity against Green Bay from his previous coaching tenure, while the offense is anticipated to emphasize running back Breece Hall to sustain control on the ground.
New York is pursuing its first 2-0 opening stretch in years and aims to snap a ten-year slump against the Packers. The historical head-to-head includes a September 14, 2014 meeting at Lambeau Field where quarterback Geno Smith punched in a one-yard touchdown run, and the team will now rely on Smith under center as they look to build on their early-season momentum.
