The Jets are above .500 and coming off a big divisional-rivalry victory last week. The Packers are also 3-2 but coming off a disastrous defeat-overseas last week. So two teams coming in from different angles meet when Green Bay hosts New York Sunday afternoon on the not-yet-frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.

Jets-Packers NFL Betting Preview
New York is 3-2 on the season after beating rival Miami last Sunday 40-17. The Jets took the lead for good on a safety two minutes into the game and used two second-quarter touchdowns to lead 19-14 at the half. New York allowed the Dolphins to pull within 19-17 midway through the third quarter but pulled away with three fourth-quarters TDs for the victory.
The Jets won outright Sunday as three-point home dogs and cashed in on the money line at +145.

Two weeks ago, the Jets came from behind in the fourth quarter to win at Pittsburgh 24-20. Three weeks ago, they lost in poor fashion to Cincinnati 27-12, but four weeks ago, New York came from behind in the fourth quarter to win at Cleveland 31-30. So the Jets are 3-1 in both SU and ATS their last four times out.
Green Bay, meanwhile, is also 3-2 on the season after blowing a 10-point halftime lead and losing to the Giants in London last Sunday 27-22. The Packers scored the first 10 points of the game and led 20-10 at the half. But Green Bay came up totally empty offensively in the second and let New York score 17 unanswered points on its way toward defeat.
Near the end, the Pack drove inside the New York 10-yard line but eschewed the run and had its last two passes batted down.
Green Bay got out-gained by the Giants 337-301, out-rushed 125-94, and allowed New York to convert 6/11 on third downs.
Two weeks ago, the Packers out-played New England but needed overtime to win 27-24. Three weeks ago, Green Bay won at Tampa Bay 14-12, and four weeks ago, it beat Chicago 27-10. So while the Packers aren’t exactly rolling, they have out-played three of their last four opponents.
