Packers open Week 2 as favorites against Jets

Ahead of their Week 2 clash, oddsmakers have pegged the Green Bay Packers as the frontrunners against the New York Jets. New York enters the matchup seeking to secure an unexpected victory for the second consecutive week to kick off the 2026 campaign.

Green Bay aims to rebound following a difficult 39-22 defeat to the Minnesota Vikings in their season opener. Head coach Matt LaFleur watched his squad surrender an early 22-10 advantage by conceding 29 straight points in the final two quarters, including 22 unanswered points down the stretch, echoing a previous collapse in January where they squandered an 18-point edge against Chicago.
