Packers vs. Jaguars Final Score Prediction for NFL Week 8 (Jordan Love Will Set Jacksonville Secondary on Fire)

The Green Bay Packers are off to a strong 5-2 start to the season, but they need to continue racking up wins to keep pace with the rest of the NFC North. Fortunately for them, they are in a great position to do just that in Week 8 when they hit the road to take on the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Jaguars earned their second win of the season in Week 7, beating the New England Patriots. Their season hasn’t gone as planned, but if they can put together a winning streak, they have a chance to get back in the mix in the AFC.

Let’s take a look at the latest odds on this interconference matchup and then I’ll give you my final score prediction.

Total

The spread for this game has remained stable all week. The Packers remain 4.5-point favorites in Jacksonville. Meanwhile, the total has fallen one and a half points, going from 51.0 to 49.5.

In this week’s edition of “On the way to 272 bets“, I broke down why the Packers winning and covering is one of my best bets of the week.

This game features one of the best passing attacks in the NFL against one of the worst secondaries. Backing the Packers seems like an absolute no-brainer at -4.5. Green Bay ranks seventh in the NFL in yards per pass attempt (7.9) and now faces a Jacksonville team that ranks 30th in opponent yards per pass attempt (7.6), 27th in opponent’s knockback success rate and last in opponent’s knockback.

The Packers have worked their way up to third in the NFL in net yards per play this season at +1.0, trailing only the Ravens (+1.3) and 49ers (+1.1).

As far as the total goes, I expect this to be a high-scoring game despite what the movement in the odds may indicate. The Jaguars’ offense is significantly better than their defense and they can be dangerous at times with their new weapon. Brian Thomas Jr.emerging as one of the best rookies in the NFL.

We could have a shootout between Love and Trevor Lawrence.

Final Score Prediction: Packers 34, Jaguars 28
