Patriots at Packers picks and predictions
Prediction
Packers 24, Patriots 13
Moneyline
The Patriots are starting an aging backup quarterback in Brian Hoyer on the road in Green Bay against one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Rodgers.
The Patriots have already had offensive struggles before losing Jones to injury and now face a defense that has allowed a total of 19 points over the last 2 games.
The Packers are overwhelming favorites, but the cost just isn’t worth the action here. PASS.
Against the spread
The Patriots have not yet covered the spread this season. The Packers are 2-1 ATS.
Even with Jones playing most of the game, the Pats still lost by 11 points last week.
The Packers were a league-best 7-2 ATS at home last season.
Baltimore put up 37 on New England last week. Green Bay should be able to get to the mid-20s, and with a limited offense to begin with being led by a 36-year-old Hoyer, the Pats aren’t going to score much.
Take the PACKERS -9.5 (-108).
Over/Under
The Packers have yet to have a game reach 40 total points. Their 3-week totals have been 30, 37 and 26.
The Patriots’ 3 games this season have had totals of 27, 31 and 63.
Could this game get out of hand with the Packers getting into the 30s? Yes, but what is more likely is they control the game early, get a lead and then lean on the running game to slow the game in the second half.
Take UNDER 40.5 (-120).
