Point Spread: 6.00 | -115.00 Jacksonville (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Setting the scene: The Packers were 3-1 in the preseason and anything less than a Super Bowl this year will be considered a disappointment. The Jags were 1-3 in the preseason and if the team made the playoffs, it would surely be considered a miracle. We think this hungry home side though can catch the heavyweight Packers a little flat in the opener as they're not going to be able to help themselves in looking towards an early divisional showdown on the road next week.
Green Bay: As Aaron Rodgers goes, so go the Packers. Last year he had almost 4,000 yards passing and posted 31 TD's. Eddie Lacy has trimmed down and looks primed for another big season. WR Jordy Nelson returns from injury, a perfect compliment to Randall Cobb. Defense was the main issue for Green Bay last year and it's the biggest question mark once again as we head into the regular season.
Jacksonville: Blake Bortles is back under center and he'll also be pivotal in his team's success this year. Last season he wouldn't disappoint by going for 4,428 yards and 35 TD's. He'll be handing off to TY Yeldon, who had 740 yards and two major scores last year. Like the Packers, the defensive side of the ball draws the most concern.
The bottom line: Clearly Green Bay is the better team, but this selection is based off a great "situation," as we think the Packers get caught looking ahead to their game against division rival Minnesota next Sunday. Opening Day upset? Perhaps, but in the end we'll recommend grabbing the points, play on the JAGUARS.
