Packers Favored by a Touchdown for Week 3 Visit to Winless Browns

Odds near eight points favor Green Bay, reflecting Cleveland's prolonged scoring slump.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX in Cleveland, with consensus lines around Packers -7.5 to -8 as Green Bay enters 2-0 and the Browns 0-2.
  • A focal matchup features Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons against Cleveland’s line, with ESPN noting opposing QBs post a QBR of 14 when Parsons is on the field.
  • Cleveland carries an eight-game losing streak and seven straight games under 18 points, with a turnover drought that includes four consecutive games without a takeaway, per recent previews.
