The Green Bay Packers meet the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8 NFL action. Jordan Love and the Packers will aim to add to their three-game winning streak against a Jaguars side that has won just three of their past 13 games. Green Bay heads to Jacksonville as 4.5-point favorites after a 24-22 victory over the Texans, while the Jags defeated the Patriots 32-16 in London.

Packers vs Jaguars Odds Week 8
Packers vs Jaguars Week 8 Picks
Packers -4.5
Matt Lafleur's Packers are a juggernaut. Green Bay currently has a top-10 scoring offense (7th), top-10 offense by yards per play (5th), as well as a top-10 scoring defense (10th), and top-10 defense by yards per play (6th). They're also 10th in offensive EPA per play, and sixth in defensive EPA per play.
Simply put, the Packers are a genuine contender, led by a young quarterback who is lighting up opposing secondaries. Quite frankly, the Jaguars…are not. Jacksonville sits dead last in defensive EPA per play, and their offense is a middle of the pack 15th.
On top of that, the Jaguars will likely be a little sluggish after spending the last two weeks playing football in London, England. Plus, the Packers are 5-0 SU in their last five games vs bottom 10 scoring defenses. Back the Packers to win this one by at least a touchdown.
Packers vs Jaguars Week 8 Props
Trevor Lawrence Under 235.5 Passing Yards (-119)
Lawrence has exceeded his 235.5 passing yardage prop in just one of his past seven games. Additionally, the Packers held stalwart quarterback CJ Stroud to just 10-of-21 passing for 86 yards last week.
Expect Jeff Hafley's pressure packages to get the better of Lawrence and a less than stellar offensive line on Sunday.
