**Packers at Browns**(+8, 42) 1:00 (1 Viewer)

27 Packers
13 Browns

Agree it's going to be a bit of a stalemate to start. Cleveland D is no joke. Packers chip away and keep the efficiency on offense going. I think the Packers D is going to be too much for Flacco.
 
There may not be a team getting worse play from their OTs than the Browns through 2 weeks, now they get Parsons/Gary. I think this game has shutout potential. Ideally you are starting any Browns.

Browns might have the best defense in the NFL, but the offense constantly puts them in awful situations. That'll likely continue to be the case Sunday. Sounds like Kraft is playing, and I wouldn't be downgrading him too much, though Browns do cover the middle pretty well, they also played Bengals/Ravens who are more perimeter passing games than GB. With Reed out, I wonder who steps up, and this week I think it might be Wicks as he seemed to fill in the slot routes the most, so he should avoid Denzel Ward.

I could see this being a game where GB mostly dominates but settles for a lot of FGs.

Browns cover with a garbage TD late, in a very low scoring game. Like 19-13.
 
I'm guessing Kraft will be active, but that doesn't mean he will be a factor. Please post your comments or if any Homers have an update.

Tricky one really. Packers are unlikely to let him play if he's ailing so him being active would be a pretty good sign, but they also have a quality #2 TE that might be seeing more time today. Feels like a bit of a dice roll, but even with less snaps he's always a TD threat. Long way of saying his situation is clear as mud today.

Ugly, defensive slogfest. Bet the under.

CLE avoids 0-3 by holding GBP Offense in check and capitalizing on a key TO or ST play.

This would shock the hell out of me. Flacco is going to be eaten alive and the Packers D will set the O up for for some great field position, but even without that this is a very good efficient offense with a ton of depth. It’s probably a reasonable bet the D get a score themselves.

Yeah, I’d say it’s a really low probability, too. But every week there’s some weird upset, and CLE D has been really stout, aside from 4 passing TDs to Lamar. 90 something rushing yds in 2 games?

Their Offense is dog poop, but that D is top 5. If they can contain Love, keep the game close, all it would take is one lucky break.

No disagreement on their D. It's top notch. It does kind of feel like it has the potential to be a weird game.

There's a mismatch for GB to exploit at slot corner. Wicks could be in for a big game.

I'm waiting for that Wicks breakout. He runs clean routes, just needs to hang onto the ball.
 
RT Dwand Jones down. Huge blow to the already depleted Browns O-Line against the Pack pass rush.
This could turn into a fantastic old school low-scoring defensive game but the Pack has more firepower so the damn 'will likely' burst later in the game.
Right now. This is kinda cool.
