The Cleveland Browns (7-7) travel to meet the Green Bay Packers (11-3) for a Week 16 game Saturday at Lambeau Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Browns vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
The Browns head to Lambeau on a short week after having last Saturday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders pushed to Monday due to COVID concerns in Cleveland. The team is starting to get some players back, and head coach Kevin Stefanski has also returned, but some key players are still working their way back.
The Packers locked up the NFC North Division title with a win against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday. The Packers are 11-3 SU/ATS overall on the season, and the OVER has cashed in each of their last four outings.

Browns at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Packers 31, Browns 20
Money line
The Packers (-370) have wrapped up the division, but they’re still up just one game on a handful of teams in the NFC. Green Bay is trying to secure home-field advantage so the road to the Super Bowl goes through frigid Wisconsin and they won’t be taking it easy on the visiting Browns.
However, you have to PASS though, as risking nearly four times your potential return is risky business.
Against the spread
The PACKERS -7.5 (-105) are a good play at home. Green Bay has posted three straight victories while going 2-1 ATS during the span. The Packers are averaging 37.3 PPG across their last three games and a struggling Cleveland team will have a hard time keeping up at that rate.
Over/Under
The OVER 45.5 (-115) is the play in this Saturday game. The Browns haven’t had a lot of success on offense lately and compounded with all of the COVID issues lately that’s a bit of a concern.
However, the greatest threat to the Browns might be the health of Garrett, who has missed practice this week with a groin injury. QB Aaron Rodgers will pick them apart and Green Bay will score at will if Garrett is forced to sit and no one can get pressure on him.
