Power-rating comparison
What the model sees in Packers at Jets
The Packers travel to face the Jets in Week 2. Our power ratings put the Jets 31st of 32 at -4.0 (Below Avg tier) and the Packers 5th at +2.9 (Playoff tier) — a 6.9-point gap that home field narrows to a 4.5-point line on the Packers, 63% to win. It rates as the 10th-widest of the 16 games in Week 2.
The sharpest unit gap in the game runs one way: the Packers offense grades +3.2 (5th of 32) against a Jets defense at -2.2 (27th) — 5.4 points of separation on our scale, and the single biggest reason the line sits where it does. Going the other direction, the Jets offense (-3.1, 30th) meets the Packers defense (-0.5, 15th), a 2.6-point gap. Special teams adds to it: the Jets grade +1.3, 1st in the league, against +0.3 (21st) on the other side — close to a point of hidden margin.
Zoom out to the full season and the model projects the Jets at 6.5 wins (favored in 4 of 17) and the Packers at 9.7 (favored in 13) — 3.3 wins apart across the year. By win probability this is the 9th-hardest game on the Jets' schedule and the 13th-hardest on the Packers'.
The series is dead level: 3-3 across 6 regular-season meetings since 2002. They last met in 2022: Jets won 27-10 in October. Over their last 4 meetings the Jets are 1-3. History says these two are hard to separate, which is the one place it agrees with the ratings.
Does the model earn this number? In 666 of the 3266 walk-forward games it has been graded on (2013-2024, no market line used), it landed in the 60-65% range. Those favourites went 59%. The 63% on the Packers here sits in that same band, and the history runs slightly behind the claim.
Kalshi has not listed KXNFLGAME-26SEP20GBNYJ, so there is no price on the board and no edge to quote. The model's number to hold it to: Jets 37%, Packers 63%. Applying our five-point threshold, that makes Jets contracts a buy at 32c or below and Packers contracts a buy at 58c or below — anything between is inside the noise, and we pass. Week 1's KXNFLGAME contracts opened in May 2026 and the rest of the slate lists as the season gets closer; this page picks up the price automatically when it does.
