Who is favored to win the Packers-Jets Week 2 game?
Green Bay finished 9-7-1 in 2025 and reached the playoffs for a third straight year before losing to the Bears in the Wild Card round. Quarterback Jordan Love returns under head coach Matt LaFleur, and the Packers opened 2026 with a 39-22 collapse in Minnesota after leading 22-10 in the third quarter. Running back Josh Jacobs, tight end Luke Musgrave, edge rusher Micah Parsons and defensive lineman Jordon Riley are all out, with guard Aaron Banks among several more questionable.
New York finished 3-14 in Aaron Glenn's dismal first season as head coach, becoming the first team in NFL history to go an entire season without an interception. The Jets overhauled the roster this offseason, trading for quarterback Geno Smith and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and signing linebacker Demario Davis, and opened 2026 with a 23-10 win over Tennessee in Smith's first start for the franchise since 2016. Fitzpatrick is out for Sunday with a groin injury suffered in that win, and cornerback D'Angelo Ponds and linebacker Jamien Sherwood were both limited in practice.
