Things really couldn’t have gone better for the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Not only did they hold on to beat the Baltimore Ravens, but they also got to watch the Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffer embarrassing losses as big favorites. The Packers now have a one-game cushion in the NFC with just three games to go. 

The next matchup for Green Bay is a home game against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. The Browns opened as 7.5-point underdogs on the road at Lambeau Field where the Packers are undefeated this season. The Browns will enter the game on a short week after facing the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.

Browns vs. Packers Prediction and Pick

While millions of people around the world are busy opening Christmas presents I think the Browns will be getting coal in their stockings. The Green Bay Packers are undefeated at home and finally in sole possession of the NFC lead. I don’t see either of those things changing on Saturday. 

Even on a regular Sunday afternoon, I think the Packers make short work of the Browns. But, this is not “any given Sunday.” The Browns are on a very short work and are very shorthanded. As of this writing, the Browns have 19 players on the reserve/COVID-19 list. It is unlikely that all 19 sit out again in Week 16. But it's also unlikely that all of those players return and no others are added to the list. As of today, both Baker Mayfield and Case Keenum were still in protocols Nick Mullins is in under center against the Raiders. 

The Packers are really heating up at the right time and are facing off a struggling team on short rest and with a depleted roster. 

Pick: Green Bay Packers -7.5 (-110)
