The Browns really got screwed by COVID-19 last week. They had their game postponed until Monday night but were still unable to get Baker Mayfield or Case Keenum passed protocols to return. Even with Nick Mullens under center, they almost beat a floundering Raiders team. But it was not to be and the Browns lost on a game-winning FG as time expired. Now, on short rest, the Browns have to turn around and head to Green Bay to take on the Packers. 

Meanwhile, the Packers were winners last week after a tight one-point victory over the Ravens. Baltimore had a chance to extend the game, but Jim Harbaugh tried and failed, to win on a two-point conversion. 

The Browns are mostly healthy after last week’s outbreak, but it might not matter against a Packers team that hasn't lost a game at home all year.

Browns vs. Packers Prediction and Pick

Not only have the Packers yet to lose a game this season at Lambeau Field, but they are also a perfect 6-0 against the spread. Five of their six home games this year were won by at least eight points and it gets harder for teams to go in GB the colder it gets. So, the Packers' home-field advantage is only getting stronger as the season progresses. 

Between that and the drama-filled week the Browns suffered, I don’t see the visitors having much of a shot to upset the Packers here. In fact, I don’t see them having much of a shot to cover this game. I would be surprised if the Browns can keep with the Packers on offense without making a few too many mistakes in the process. The Packers’ turnover differential on the year is +12 and we could see some defensive points scored too by GB. 

Pick: Green Bay Packers -7.5 (-110)
