When you think of the Green Bay Packers, you immediately think of a high-scoring team with a high-octane QB in Aaron Rodgers. The problem this week is that there is no Randall Cobb and no James Jones, two of the three primary receivers for Green Bay. Last week without each for most of the game, the Packers found the end zone just twice. That leaves Jordy Nelson to do most of the heavy lifting, but Cleveland has a very good shutdown back in Joe Haden. The good news for Green Bay is that their running game has found its legs with Eddie Lacy so expect a lot more pound and ground than usual out of Green Bay. Also, the Packers defense is coming around, allowing just 26 total points over the last two weeks. Cleveland lost Brian Hoyer who had sparked the offense. They are now back to Brandon Weeden who lost his job because he was ineffective. Cleveland games have averaged 40.5 total points this season. Green Bay's defense has allowed just 14.5 per game at home this season. This game total simply isn't adjusted enough for all the changes, which all go against the offenses. This one stays UNDER.
