New England Patriots at Green Bay Packers - 10/2/22 NFL Picks and Prediction
The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers meet Sunday in week 4 NFL action at Lambeau Field. The New England Patriots look to get back to a .500 record. The Green Bay Packers look to get off to a 3-1 start.
The New England Patriots have lost 3 of their last 4 road games. Brian Hoyer is going to get the start as Mac Jones has been ruled out due to an ankle injury. Nelson Agholor and DeVante Parker have combined for 344 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Jakobi Meyers has 13 receptions. The New England Patriots ground game is averaging 115.7 yards per contest, and Damien Harris leads the way with 160 yards and 2 touchdowns. Defensively, New England is allowing 23.7 points and 314.7 yards per game. Devin McCourty leads the New England Patriots with 17 tackles, Deatrich Wise Jr. has 4 sacks and Jalen Mills has 1 interception.
The Green Bay Packers haven’t lost a home game since November 2020. Aaron Rodgers is completing 72.3 percent of his passes for 684 yards, 4 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Romeo Doubs and Sammy Watkins have combined for 248 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Randall Cobb has 7 receptions. The Green Bay Packers ground game is averaging 127 yards per contest, and Aaron Jones leads the way with 217 yards and 1 touchdown. Defensively, Green Bay is allowing 15 points and 302.7 yards per game. De’Vondre Campbell leads the Green Bay Packers with 29 tackles, Rashan Gary has 3 sacks and Jaire Alexander has 1 interception.
The Patriots are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Packers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Patriots last 7 games overall. The under is 4-0 in Packers last 4 games overall. The under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
The New England Patriots didn't look great with Mac Jones at quarterback, so I can only imagine how they look with Brian Hoyer under center. Almost 37 years old, Hoyer has never been a great quarterback, and he's started just 13 games since 2016. The Green Bay Packers remain great defensively, and Rodgers is looking more and more comfortable in this offense. This is a massive number in the NFL, but I can't get behind the Patriots. It's Packers in a beat down or pass for me.
