The New England Patriots are hoping their season hasn’t been completely derailed by the ankle injury sustained by quarterback Mac Jones last week as they head to Green Bay on Sunday in Week 4 of the NFL season. Veteran Brian Hoyer is set to get the start for the Patriots (1-2) in Wisconsin, so the 2-1 Packers, led by Aaron Rodgers are understandably big favorites for a home win.

NFL Week 4 New England Patriots vs Green Bay Packers prediction
The Patriots are almost double-digit underdogs for this game as they look set to turn to veteran backup quarterback Brian Hoyer, who would be supported by rookie Bailey Zappe. New England has 1 win on the board this season, against the Steelers in Week 2, in between losses to AFC contenders the Dolphins and Ravens. Their tough early schedule continues with a trip to Lambeau Field to face the Packers.
Green Bay stands at 2-1 after suffering an early shock with a comprehensive 23-7 Week 1 loss to NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings. Things are looking better for Matt LaFleur’s team now after wins against the Bears and Buccaneers in the last two weeks and they are looking to stay undefeated at home.
