Green Bay tops the charts

The Green Bay Packers return to action this Sunday after 10 days off following a 27-18 win over the Commanders in Green Bay last Thursday night. The Packers are now 2-0, beating two playoff teams from 2024 in back-to-back weeks. Quarterback Jordan Love threw for two touchdowns the revamped Packers’ defense did their part in the victory.

“It feels good,” Love said. “We couldn't have started the season off on a better note. It’s a thing we’ve just got to keep building on, but it feels great right now.”

Love led the offensive attack, going 19-of-31 for 292 yards and two touchdowns. His primary target was tight end Tucker Kraft. Kraft finished with six catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. Running back Josh Jacobs led the ground attack with 84 yards on 23 carries. He added a rushing touchdown as well. In all, the Packers finished with 404 yards of total offense, including 135 yards rushing. The Packers finished 5-of-12 on third down. They didn’t turn the ball over at all in the game.

Take two for Ward and the Titans

The Cleveland Browns get set to host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, still searching for their first win in 2025. The Browns were bounced by the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore on Sunday, 41-17, to fall to 0-2 on the season. The Browns are already 0-2 in division play, having lost to the Ravens and Bengals.

“We gave them 21 points via a blocked punt, a fumble recovery and an interception. It’s just hard to win,” Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. “It’s hard to win, period, but it’s hard to win when you do that. We’ll own it.”

The game was close at the half, with the Ravens leading just 10-3 at the break. The second half, however, was all Baltimore as the Ravens poured in 31 points. Quarterback Joe Flacco finished 25-of-45 for 199 yards against his former team. He had two touchdowns and also threw an interception. As a team, the Ravens finished with 323 yards of total offense. They were just 7-of-18 on third down conversions in the game. The Browns turned the ball over twice in the game.

The Browns' defense, despite the final score, played dominantly at times, particularly against the run. They held the Ravens to just 45 yards rushing, including just 23 yards on 11 carries from Derrick Henry. Myles Garrett had another dominant effort with five tackles, including a sack and a half. The Browns had three sacks in total and five tackles for loss. Devin Bush led the team with eight tackles.

Cleveland ranks just 27th in the NFL in points per game this season, failing to score 20 points in either game. They are 27th in the NFL in rushing and 10th through the air. They are 9th in the NFL in sacks allowed per contest. The Browns rank 10th in red zone offense. On the defensive end, the Browns are 25th in points allowed. They have first against the run and third against the pass. They are 8th in the NFL in sacks per game. The team is 24th in red zone defense. Cleveland is 11th in penalties per game and just 31st in turnover margin after two games.

Key Injuries: LB Winston Reid is out. G Joel Bitonio, DT Mike Hall Jr., OT Jack Conklin, and WR DeAndre Carter are questionable.

Packers vs. Browns Pick

Point Spread Pick for Packers vs. Browns 

  • Packers -7.5 (4 units)

The Packers have come flying out of the gates with two wins over playoff-caliber teams. The offense has come as advertised, ranked sixth in points per game and third in the red zone. The change is on the defensive end. The Packers are fourth in points allowed this season, and second against the run. Micah Parsons has proven to be invaluable to the pass rush, providing the team with the pressure on opposing quarterbacks that they craved. They face a Browns team that is just 27th in points per game. The Browns have also had trouble protecting the football, 31st in the league in turnover margin. The Browns simply do not have the firepower to keep up with the Packers. Green Bay wins this one comfortably.

Take the Packers -7.5

Over/Under Pick for Packers vs. Browns 

  • Over 41.5 (4 units)

The Packers’ defense is fourth in the NFL in points allowed thus far. They will have a field day against the immobile Flacco on Sunday. The Browns have failed to score over 17 points in the first two games. Defensively, the Browns, despite the points allowed, are in the top three against the pass and the rush. They can keep the Packers under 30 points, which should keep this game under the total.

Take the under 41.5
