One of the more intriguing interconference matchups on the Week 1 NFL
slate this Sunday sends the Green Bay Packers on the road to face the
Jacksonville Jaguars in a 1 p.m. (ET) start at EverBank Field. BetAnySports has listed the Packers as 4.5-point road favorites with the total set at 48.



Green Bay opened the 2015 regular season with six straight-up wins and a
5-1 record against the spread, but a mid-season swoon sunk the Packers
to 10-6 SU on the year and into second place in the NFC North behind
Minnesota. They were able to rally down the stretch for bettors with a
5-2 record ATS in their final seven games. Green Bay went 3-1 (SU and
ATS) in the preseason this year with all four games staying UNDER
BetAnySports’ closing line.



You know that former league MVP Aaron Rodgers will be ready to go this
Sunday and he will have his favorite target Jordy Nelson back in the
lineup after missing last season with an injury. Along with this duo
anchoring the passing game, Green Bay will turn to Eddie Lacy as the
featured back in the running game. The Packers also have some big-named
talent of the other side of the ball and this unit is going to have to
step up its game after slipping to 15th in the league last season in
total yards allowed.



Jacksonville has not posted a SU winning season since 2007, but the
expectation level is as high as it has been in recent years behind some
good young talent on both offense and defense. The Jaguars went 5-11 SU
last season with a 7-8-1 record ATS. They did drop their last three
games of the season both SU and ATS with the total staying UNDER in two
of the three games. They were 1-3 SU (2-2 ATS) in the 2016 preseason and
the lone win was a 26-21 victory against Cincinnati in Week 3 as
1.5-point home favorites.



Blake Bortles enters his third season as Jacksonville’s starting
quarterback and his favorite target has been Allen Robinson. These two
hooked up 80 times last season for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. The
Jaguars also have Allen Hurns and tight end Julius Thomas in the passing
game and TJ Yeldon as the team’s top running back.



This is going to be a much closer game than expected to the point where I will take BetAnySports 4.5 points on the spread in a “best bet” pick on the Jaguars covering as home underdogs on opening day
