Packers at Jaguars picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 34, Jaguars 24
Moneyline
PASS.
The Packers have been on a roll and should come out on top against the Jaguars team that is both hurt and struggling to find any consistency. Green Bay is far too expensive to play here though.
Against the spread
BET PACKERS -4 (-110).
The Packers offense has been rolling as of late, and there’s no reason to believe the Jaguars will be able to slow them down. Green Bay has allowed 35 to the Bears and 34 to the Colts in Week 6 and Week 5 respectively.
The Packers have tallied at least 29 points in 3 of their last 5 games and have allowed 22 or fewer in 4 of those. They have 2-1 ATS as a favorite of 3 or more and 1-0 ATS as a favorite of more than 3. The Jags are 0-2 ATS in home games this season with their most recent “home” battle against the Patriots not included.
Considering those trends, back PACKERS -4 (-110).
Over/Under
BET OVER 49.5 (-110).
The Jags have gone Over the projected total in 3 straight games and have found something clicking with their offense and not their defense. Either the Jags or their opponent have scored 32 or more in 3 straight games.
The Packers are 3-3-1 O/U and have had an electric offense. While their defense has performed well, the Jags are coming in with a red-hot offense that should be able to score to some extent. With both teams offenses rolling, back OVER 49.5 (-110).
