Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

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.

Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bears (4-8) face the Green Bay Packers (9-3) on the road for an old NFC North rivalry on Sunday Night Football in Week 14.  Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. Below, we look at the Bears vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers are coming off their bye week. They split their four games before the bye, beating the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks and losing to the Minnesota Vikings and Kansas City Chiefs. QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown 23 touchdown passes this season and only 4 interceptions.

The Bears are struggling and have recorded six losses in their last seven games; the one win was a last-second victory over the Detroit Lions. They are coming off a 33-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13 and lost 24-14 to the Packers in Week 6.

Bears at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 17

Money line

PASS on the money line as there is no value in betting more than seven times your return. A Bears win would make a big payout, but their only win since Oct. 10 was beating the Lions and Rodgers is 21-5 in 26 career starts against them.

Against the spread

The Bears are 4-8 ATS on the season and the Packers lead the NFL at 10-2 ATS. The Packers won by 10 points in the Week 6 meeting in Chicago but were only favored by 5.5 points in that game.

Division games are always tough and it’s hard to beat a team twice in a season. The Packers will almost certainly win this game, but I believe it will be a one-score game, even if Green Bay controls the clock.

Take the BEARS +11.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Both Green Bay and Chicago are 4-8 O/U on the season and combined for only 38 points in their first meeting.

The Packers’ last two games went Over the projected total, but seven straight games went Under before that.

Take UNDER 42.5 (-108).

Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Rams (7-3) will be on the road off their bye for a meeting with the Green Bay Packers (8-3) Sunday in Week 12. Kickoff from Lambeau Field will be at 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rams vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Rams have lost their last two games following a four-game win streak. L.A. still ranks seventh in scoring and sixth in total yards on offense despite putting up just 26 total points across the two-game skid. In the last two weeks, the Rams have allowed 31 and 28 points, struggling mightily to slow down the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10.

The Packers have lost two of their last three games as they suffered losses to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9 and Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. They did beat the Seahawks in between those losses, but Green Bay has dropped to 8-3 on the year after starting 7-1. QB Aaron Rodgers is currently dealing with a toe injury and LT David Bakhtiari and OL Elgton Jenkins will both miss this game.

Rams at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Rams 24, Packers 21

Money line

The Rams actually opened as underdogs in this one after losing their last two games, but they’re now favored because of how banged up the Packers are. These teams are trending in opposite directions health-wise and there are some serious injury concerns on Green Bay’s side.

I like the RAMS (-130) to take advantage of the shorthanded Packers and win outright on the road.

Against the spread

The Packers’ 9-2 ATS record is the best in the league. The Rams have dropped their last 4 against the spread and are 4-6 ATS on the year. Even though they opened as underdogs, with the line since flipping to Rams -1.5, they’re the healthier team right now, which makes a big difference.

Bet the RAMS -2.5 (-110) to cover and win by at least a couple of points.

Over/Under

Surprisingly, the total has only gone Over in three of the Packers’ 11 games. The Over is 5-4-1 in Rams games, but it’s just 1-3 in their last four. With the Packers being injured and the Rams offense stalling in recent weeks, I don’t see this being a very high-scoring game — especially in colder conditions.

Bet the UNDER 46.5 (-105).

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (8-2) look to bury their closest divisional competition when they visit the Minnesota Vikings (4-5) at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Vikings odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers are currently the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Their only loss of the season following a Week 1 defeat came when QB Aaron Rodgers was on the COVID-19 reserve list during a Week 9 loss at the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the Packers have some key injuries that are concerning and even Rodgers has only practiced once this week on a limited basis with a toe injury.

The Vikings, on the other hand, have several of their star defensive players – LB Anthony Barr, CB Patrick Peterson and SS Harrison Smith – coming back from being sidelined and are going to be at as full strength. The timing couldn’t be better.

Packers at Vikings odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Vikings 27, Packers 24

Money line

Since 2015, the Packers are just 5-6-1 against the Vikings, including 2-3 on the road. There are a lot of people jumping on the Packers here, but it seems like every time Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer and GM Rick Spielman are on the hot seat, Minnesota comes away with a signature win. The injuries to Jones and Bakhtiari are important because both are so critical to Green Bay’s offense. You may be the lone wolf in your pack, but BET VIKINGS (-105).

Against the spread

PASS since we’re backing the Vikings’ money line at -105.

Over/Under

The Vikings offense has been hitting its stride, scoring 27 or more points in three of their last four games. Any time you have Rodgers on the other side of the ball, his ability to make plays to get his team instantly into scoring position lends itself to scoring points.

There will be no outside weather influences in this game, so both offenses are likely to be in attack mode. I wouldn’t have been shocked to see this line two or three points higher. TAKE THE OVER 47.5 (-105)

Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Seattle Seahawks (3-5) are on the road in Week 10 to take on the Green Bay Packers (7-2) Sunday. Kickoff is 4:25 p.m. at Lambeau Field. Below, we look at the Seahawks vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Seattle gets QB Russell Wilson back after a three-game stint on injured reserve following surgery on his finger. The Seahawks lost two of three games in his absence and are tied for last place in the NFC West.

The Packers, a week after beating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, lost QB Aaron Rodgers for their Week 9 game after he tested positive for COVID-19. He will be back in the lineup Sunday, giving the nation a premier battle between him and Wilson. The Packers lost 13-7 to the Kansas City Chiefs with Rodgers sidelined.

Seahawks at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 24, Seahawks 21

Money line

The Seahawks get Russell Wilson back but they still are only 2-2 on the road this season, and he won’t fix the fact that the defense allows the second-most yards per game in the league (401.5).

The Packers are 3-0 at home this season, and with Rodgers’ return, he will certainly feel a little extra motivation.

Take the PACKERS (-170).

Against the spread

The Seahawks are 5-3 ATS this season and 3-1 ATS on the road. However, Green Bay is 8-1 ATS and 3-0 ATS at home.

The Seahawks defense is far worse at allowing yards than points. They rank 31st in yards but are a top-10 unit in terms of scoring defense, allowing 21.1 points per game.

With a showdown between Rodgers and Wilson, it is bound to come down to the wire. I don’t see this being decided by more than a field goal.

Take the SEAHAWKS +3.5 (-120).

Over/Under

The Seahawks have only had one game this season finish with a total of at least 50 points, and it was the only game that has hit the Over for them all season.

The Packers have not had a game finish with at least 50 points since Week 3. They have had only two games go Over the projected total.

Take UNDER 49.5 (-110).

Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Kansas City Chiefs odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (7-1) visit the Kansas City Chiefs (4-4) Sunday for their Week 9 meeting at Arrowhead Stadium. The kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Chiefs odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Obviously, the major storyline entering this Packers-Chiefs showdown is the absence of reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers who will be sidelined Sunday after testing positive for COVID-19 this week.

Green Bay is coming off an impressive 24-21 upset of a then-undefeated Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football last week.

The Packers won outright as 6.5-point road underdogs despite missing superstar Davante Adams and No. 2 WR Allen Lazard who tested positive for COVID-19. Green Bay sits at 7-1 ATS and 2-6 O/U.

K.C. narrowly beat the lowly New York Giants 20-17 as 10.5-point home favorites on Monday Night Football in Week 8. The Chiefs continue to be their own worst enemy as K.C. turned the ball over twice vs. New York and committed 12 penalties. The Chiefs are 2-6 ATS and 4-4 O/U.

Packers at Chiefs odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chiefs 26, Packers 20

Money line

I was ready to take K.C.’s money line which was priced at nearly even money before the Rodgers-COVID news broke. However, the Chiefs (-350) are unplayable at this number.

The Packers rallying behind a backup quarterback against a Chiefs team that’s been bad this season wouldn’t be a shocker. But, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t entertaining K.C. as a teaser leg.

PASS.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the PACKERS +7.5 (-120) as more of a fade against a Chiefs -7.5 (+100) that shouldn’t be laying more than 7 points vs. a quality team.

Of course, the loss of Rodgers is awful for Green Bay, hence the lopsided pricing. But, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is probably the most underrated playcaller in the NFL.

Since LaFleur was hired by Green Bay in 2019, the Packers are 33-7 overall and this is a great spot for them.

For instance, Green Bay is 7-3 ATS as a road underdog and 7-4 ATS when playing with a rest advantage since 2019. Also, K.C. is just 9-11-1 ATS as a home favorite over that span and 15-17-1 ATS following a win.

The football-based logic for my “LEAN” to the PACKERS +7.5 (-120) is Green Bay’s epic run blocking edge in the trenches. Packers RB Aaron Jones is one of the best in the business and Green Bay could certainly control the pace behind a dominant rushing effort.

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the UNDER 47.5 (-108) for a tiny wager if at all because we are getting to the party late. Once the Rodgers’ news broke, the market hammered the Under, which steamed the total from the mid-50s to the current number.

There’s still a smidge of value in the Under for Packers-Chiefs because K.C.’s offense has been mistake-prone all season. Green Bay should be draining the clock to avoid a shootout without the NFL’s best gunslinger (Rodgers).

Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

Week 8 in the NFL kicks off Thursday night with a premier matchup between two division leaders that are well on their way to the postseason. The Green Bay Packers (6-1) take on the Arizona Cardinals (7-0) on the road. Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Cardinals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Packers have won six straight games after a 38-3 drubbing in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints. QB Aaron Rodgers is playing at his usual high level, although his production is a bit below what he did as league MVP in 2020. He has 1,710 passing yards, 15 touchdown passes and three interceptions in seven games so far. Green Bay’s offense is in the middle of the pack in the league, averaging 24.0 points per game, while the defense is a top-10 unit.

The Cardinals have been the best team in the NFL. They are the only undefeated team in the league and have blown out three playoff teams from last season, all on the road. They are fourth in the league in scoring and, on the other side of the ball, first in points allowed, third-down defense and fourth-down defense. QB Kyler Murray has 17 touchdown passes and three rushing touchdowns through seven games.

Packers at Cardinals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cardinals 31, Packers 20

Money line

It hasn’t mattered whom the Cardinals have faced this season. The better the opponent, the better the game. They have scored over 30 points in six of seven games. They have allowed 20 or fewer points in six of seven games.

Green Bay is missing their top two receivers and their left tackle. Yes, the Cardinals will be without DE J.J. Watt, but OLB Chandler Jones returns to the lineup with his five sacks to join OLB Markus Golden, who has four sacks in his last two games.

The Packers don’t have the defense to shut down the Cardinals’ offense and, without Adams, they lack the firepower to keep up offensively.

Take the CARDINALS (-270).

Against the spread

Before the news that Adams and then Lazard would be out, I had this game being close. However, this actually has the potential for the Packers to go off the rails like in Week 1.

The Cardinals are 5-1 ATS on the season and have beaten the three opponents who were in the playoffs last season by an average of 21.7 points, and all three of those games were on the road.

Take the CARDINALS -6.5 (-108).

Over/Under

Only three of the Cardinals’ seven games and only two of the Packers’ have gone Over projected total this season.

However, we can bank on at least 30 points for the Cardinals, so it is a matter of Green Bay’s offensive output.

I think there is a chance they get shut down, but I just don’t see Rodgers letting that happen a second time this season.

I LEAN OVER 49.5 (-115).

Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (2-4) travel to meet the Green Bay Packers (5-1) at Lambeau Field Sunday for a Week 7 game. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at the Washington vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington lost its second consecutive game when it was pounded 31-13 by the visiting Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. WFT picked up a 34-30 win in Atlanta as a two-point favorite in its most recent road outing. The Over is 2-0 in two road contests.

Green Bay was worked over in Week 1 in a neutral-site battle against New Orleans, but has rolled to five straight wins and covers since. The Under is a perfect 3-0 in the last three for the Packers.

Washington at Packers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 31, Washington 20

Money line

The Packers (-380) will cost you nearly four times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk even for a home team.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The PACKERS -7.5 (-110) are the play on their home field. Green Bay is 2-0 SU/ATS at home so far, and they’re 3-0 ATS in three outings as a favorite of 5.5 or more points.

The difference here is at quarterback and on defense. QB Aaron Rodgers should be able to shred the Washington D. WFT is allowing 309.5 passing yards per game and 31.0 PPG, both dead-last in the NFL.

Over/Under

The OVER 47.5 (-110) is the lean in Sunday’s NFC battle at Lambeau. Rodgers and the Pack should have similar success like QB Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had last week against WFT.

The Over has connected in four of the last five for the Packers at home dating back to last season, while going 4-1 in the past five games overall for Washington. Look for a total in the 50s.

Packers at Bears odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Packers 24, Bears 13

Money line

PASS even though Green Bay is obviously the right side here because the Packers (-250) is a little too rich for my blood.

Rodgers dominates the Bears and Chicago’s injury woes combined with rookie QB Justin Fields having more game film on him should help Green Bay’s defense in this spot.

Against the spread

Slight “LEAN” to the PACKERS -5.5 (-112) for a small bet if at all because of the aforementioned logic. There’s been “sharp line movement” towards Green Bay who opened up as a 4.5-point favorite.

We are getting the worst of the number and I much prefer the Under in this game than a side in Packers-Bears.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 44.5 (-112) for 1 unit because there is “reverse line movement” in the Under’s direction.

Slightly more money is on the Over and nearly three-fourths of the bets placed are on the Over according to pregame.com, but the total has been lowered from the 46-point opener. It’s a red flag whenever you see sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

Green Bay’s offense ranks 24th in neutral situation pace and Chicago’s offense ranks 28th in neutral situation pace, according to footballeroutsiders.com

The Packers are super reliant on Rodgers to WR Davante Adams magic and Chicago’s defense has held Adams in check recently.

Adams’ 61 targets are by far the most for any player on Green Bay’s offense with the next closest player being RB Aaron Jones out of the backfield with 19 targets. However, Adams has only surpassed 61 receiving yards once in his last four games against the Bears.

Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers Week 5 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (3-1) stop by Paul Brown Stadium Sunday to play the Cincinnati Bengals (3-1) at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Packers vs. Bengals odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Green Bay cruised past the Pittsburgh Steelers 27-17 as a 6.5-point home favorite in Week 4. The Packers have won covered the last three games after their weird 38-3 Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Cincy rallied back from a 14-point, first-half deficit to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 24-21 on Thursday Night Football. The Bengals are 2-2 against the spread (ATS), which includes a 24-10 win at the Steelers in Week 3.

Packers at Bengals odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bengals 30, Packers 24

Money line

PASS because the Cincinnati (+122) doesn’t make much sense when Cincy plus the points is still even-money (+100).

Against the spread

BET 1 unit on the BENGALS +2.5 (+100) because there’s “reverse line movement” in Cincy’s direction and the Bengals have been a lot more efficient thus far.

A vast majority of the action is on Green Bay to cover but Cincy has gone from a 3.5-point underdog down to the current price. It’s a red flag whenever sportsbooks make the more popular side cheaper.

The Bengals have a higher net points per play, yards per play and red zone-scoring differentials. On top of that, Green Bay has a negative expected points added (EPA) differential. And each team has played a similar strength of schedule.

There’s an old-school handicapping angle where you flip the 3-point home field advantage and analyze the game. So, in this case, we’d make the Packers home and add six points to their spread. It would be hard to argue Green Bay laying 8.5 points is a good bet.

I know it seems like the Packers -2.5 (-125) is cheap but the bottom line is Green Bay is overpriced in this spot. TAKE the BENGALS +2.5 (+100).

Over/Under

Slight “LEAN” to the OVER 50.5 (-115) for a small wager, if at all, because I much prefer Cincy’s spread and we are getting to the party late.

According to Pregame.com, more than 90% of the action is on the Over, which has caused oddsmakers to move the Packers-Bengals total up from the 48.5-point opener. Perhaps Over 50.5 (-115) is still a winner, but I liked this total a lot more when it was 48.5.
