Prediction
- I am gonna buy the Packers here on the overreaction.
- Last week’s box score was quite misleading as the Refs got involved too much on the side of the Vikings, yet Minnesota was out-gained by plenty of yards.
- Last week, the Jets took care of a dumpster fire team in the Titans with a new coach. I can’t upgrade them too much for that.
- We are looking at a very solid Packers team going into a game where they need to bounce back. I think the Packers handle their business.
Packers -3.5 – 2 stars
