New York Jets: Predicting the win-loss record, part IV
Week Sixteen: vs. Green Bay Packers
The Jets remain at home to take on the Green Bay Packers. Everybody knows how good Aaron Rodgers is, and he will be back under center at this time in 2018. The rest of the league has had this guy tear them up at one time or another and now is Todd Bowles turn. New York, needless to say, has a tough game in store for them.
Believe it or not, the Jets actually lead the series against the Packers 8-4. Remember the huge win back in 2002 at Giants Stadium? Chad Pennington was great that day. These two teams actually haven’t faced off since the stadium was named MetLife. The last time these two teams played in the northeast, the Jets kept it close but ultimately fell 9-0.
Though he is 2-0 against the Jets, Rodgers has only completed 52% of his passes against the Jets. He hasn’t exactly lit up the scoreboard or the stat sheet against the Jets and he won’t necessarily do so in this one. This one will be close with the Jets likely still within a score when the final quarter hits. However, the Packers will be too much, ending the Jets winning streak at two.
