Result:
LOSS

The New York Jets already beat their stadium rival, the Giants, while the Packers looked bad losing 26-7 to Houston, so the motivation factor is clearly on Green Bay's side in this matchup. Rookie Zach Wilson led the Jets to a field goal against the Giants' backups and completed 6 of 9 for 63 yards. Jordan Love was 12 of 17 passing for 122 yards and a touchdown in his first game for the Packers, but he is questionable for this game as he injured his shoulder during the opener, so the Packers signed Jake Dolegala to go along with Kurt Benkert for backups. Aaron Rodgers does not expect to get much action if at all in the preseason. Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur went over the total all four preseason games in 2019 and will want to generate some offense after managing only seven points last week. Wilson was one of just two rookie QBs to start their team's preseason opener and should get more time this week, especially since Robert Saleh liked what he saw. Look for Green Bay to rebound from last week's weak showing. Play the Packers for a Max Play.
