NFL Player Odds and Props
Breece Hall leads the way on the NFL player props as a -120 bet on the anytime TD scorer odds after rushing 22 times for 102 yards and on score last weekend. Green Bay surrendered 107 rushing yards against Minnesota, while the Jets ran the football 39 times and controlled possession for almost 39 minutes in Tennessee.
Packers wideout Christian Watson is a solid +150 bet to score anytime after erupting for six receptions, 147 yards and two touchdowns in the opener.
Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love’s Week 1 numbers were impressive even if the result was not. The Packers pivot threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns against Minnesota, with Christian Watson accounting for 147 receiving yards and both scores. But Green Bay allowed four sacks, committed 12 penalties for 98 yards and lost two fumbles as a 22-10 advantage disappeared.
The Packers also managed just 66 rushing yards, increasing the pressure on Love to carry the offence.
On the injury front, defensive tackle Warren Brinson did not practice Wednesday, while Javon Hargrave, Lukas Van Ness, Devonte Wyatt and Barryn Sorrell were among the limited participants.
New York Jets
Geno Smith kept things simple in Week 1 and the approach paid dividends. Smith completed 19 of 24 passes for 215 yards without a turnover, while Breece Hall carried 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown. Overall, the Jets finished with 152 rushing yards, held the football for almost 39 minutes and outgained Tennessee 367-195. The defence provided a big assist, sacking Titans QB Cam Ward three times while holding him to 140 passing yards.
However, the Jets do have important concerns. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, receiver Omar Cooper Jr., running back Kene Nwangwu, and edge rusher Joseph Ossai missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices.
