The Cleveland Browns opened as 8.5-point home underdogs against the Green Bay Packers ahead of their Week 3 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is currently 42.5.
The Browns (0-2) are coming off of a really bad 41-17 loss in Week 2 to the Ravens. Unlike Week 1 when it felt like the Browns dominated in many facets but still lost, it felt like Cleveland never had much of a chance in Week 2 due to their inability to find openings on offense. In turn, Joe Flacco looked
rattled for the first time since being a Brown, and the wheels came off. That led to several short field touchdowns for Baltimore, which then makes it look like Lamar Jackson’s four-touchdown effort had him slicing through the defense (even though the Browns’ defense held them in check for much of the afternoon).
The Packers (2-0) are coming off of another impressive 28-17 win over the Washington Commanders, after having beaten the Detroit Lions in Week 1. Green Bay’s start to the season has been perhaps the most impressive in the NFL, showing a great combination of offense and defense. The addition of Micah Parsons right before Week 1 was the icing on the cake that might help put them over the edge, and the Browns having to face him with issues at offensive tackle and struggles on offense seems like a recipe for disaster.
The over/under for the game is 42.5.
