Green Bay Packers vs New York Jets Sun. Oct. 31st 1pm EST

Last season the New York Jets were able to do the seemingly impossible as they struggled midway through the regular season and then came on strong in the second half of the year in order to clinch a playoff spot. Not only were they able to get into the postseason, but they were able to beat the Cincinnati Bengals and the red hot San Diego Chargers on their way to the AFC Conference championship against the Indianapolis Colts.

Unfortunately, they were unable to get the best of Peyton Manning and company, but they did prove to the rest of the league that they were a legitimate force to be reckoned with in the AFC Conference and could be Super Bowl title contenders next season.

Even though there were a lot of doubters that thought that the New York Jets were just a fluke last season, they have proved otherwise as they lead the way in the AFC East division right now with a 5-1 record coming into Week 8’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Unlike the Jets, the Packers have play pretty inconsistently throughout the first seven weeks of the season as they have dealt with some injuries to some of their best players on the offensive side of the football.

Without running back Ryan Grant and tight end Jermichael Finley who are out for the season with knee injuries, the Packers once potent offense has played well, but nowhere near up to their potential and they will almost certainly have their work cut out for them this week against the lockdown defense of the Jets.

As of right now, the New York Jets are favored with a -6 point spread. With the Green Bay Packers being as banged up as they are, this spread is right on the money in my opinion.
