Venue:'Lambeau Field – Green Bay, WI
Coverage: CBS
The New England Patriots will aim to overcome one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL when they visit the Green Bay Packers in Week 4 action. The Patriots came up short against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3 and lost quarterback Mac Jones to an ankle injury in the process.
Meanwhile, the Packers are flying high after back-to-back wins over the Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wide receivers Romeo Doubs and Allen Lazard both hauled in a touchdown pass in Week 3, which should go a long way towards building chemistry with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Patriots vs Packers Prediction & Pick
As mentioned above, the Patriots are expected to be without their starting QB in this game as Jones was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. He was screaming in pain as he headed down to the locker room on Sunday and will likely miss a good amount of time. Backup QB Brian Hoyer is the likeliest candidate to lead New England's offense moving forward.
That gives the Packers a massive advantage here. Hoyer owns a career record of 16-23 and hasn't led his team to a win since 2016. Green Bay has been dominant at home, too, winning nine of its last 10 games at Lambeau Field. The Patriots don't have the firepower to pull off a huge upset here.
Final Score Prediction:'Packers: 28 | Patriots 10
Patriots vs Packers Betting Trends

– The total has hit the under in four of Green Bay's last five games.
Patriots vs Packers Best Bet
This game features the lowest total of any game on the Week 4 slate, and it's low for a reason. The under has hit in six of New England's last eight away games and five of the last six head-to-head meetings between the Patriots and Packers. That trend should continue in Week 4.
Not only is Hoyer going to have to deal with overwhelming crowd noise, but he is also going to have to deal with a Green Bay defense that has held their opponents to 302.7 yards per game this season (No. 7 in NFL). The Packers will get out to a big lead and chew the clock enough for the under to hit.
