Jacksonville Jaguars vs Green Bay Packers Prediction

The Green Bay Packers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 Games as a road favorite, but they’re starting to roll with the return of Jordan Love and are simply the better team on both sides of the ball. The Jacksonville Jaguars just spent two weeks in London and just haven’t looked good. Yes, the Jags did beat up on the Patriots, but they also trailed that Game by 10 points out of the gate. The Jaguars are rough defensively, and their offensive line hasn’t been good. I just trust the Packers to keep the wins coming. The Jaguars feel like one more loss away from cleaning house. Give me the Packers by a touchdown.
