NFL Odds
Packers -4.5
Total: 48 points
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers enter another year as potential Super Bowl contenders, this season opening on the road in Florida. Green Bay won 10 games last season and open with a pair of games on the road this season, next week they travel to take on the Minnesota Vikings.
Jacksonville should be solid this season as well, many believe they can reach the post season. The Jaguars have a ton of young talent that is now beginning to reach its potential. Blake Bortles is a solid quarterback that has grown in his few years in the league and the defense could be a strength this season.
Jordy Nelson is back as Rodgers’ favorite target in Green Bay. He also picked up a strong tight end in Jared Cook, who caught 16 touchdown passes over the span of a couple of seasons in Tennessee.
Eddie Lacy has lost weight as well, something Green Bay will certainly be pleased with as he will look to carry the load at running back. Rodgers makes the difference for the Packers, but Lacy can be a major factor in this one.
