Packers at Jets: Week 2 uncertainty favors a pass
New York’s productive opener meets Jordan Love’s passing production, but one game of results and unresolved injury availability leave the betting case unsettled.
Matchup and prices
The Green Bay Packers visit the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on September 20 in Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. Green Bay enters 0-1; New York is 1-0 after beating Tennessee 23-10 on the road.
SportsJaw lists Green Bay at -175 on the moneyline and -3.5 (-110) on the spread. New York is +155 on the moneyline and +3.5 (-110). Over 44.5 (-110) and under 44.5 (-110) are the total options.
What the opening games establish
The Jets allowed 195 yards against Tennessee, placing them second in the NFL entering Week 2. Geno Smith completed 19 of 24 passes without a turnover or sack, and Garrett Wilson caught six passes for 79 yards. That supports a positive assessment of New York’s opener, but a single game offers limited evidence of repeatable performance.
Love presents a different test. He completed 21 of 42 passes for 387 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Green Bay’s opening loss at Minnesota. His yardage gives New York’s defense reason for concern, while the completion rate and interception temper the case for backing Green Bay at its listed price.
Availability limits the betting case
Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick left the Tennessee game after six plays with a groin sprain. Andre Cisco replaced him and played 44 defensive snaps. Fitzpatrick did not participate Thursday, nor did edge rusher Joseph Ossai. Those practice designations do not establish their Sunday availability.
