Cleveland Browns vs. Green Bay Packers Line at Pack -2.5 to -3

The Cleveland Browns vs. Green Bay Packers line was coming in at Packers -2.5 to -3 depending on the book. Belmont.com had this one at Green Bay -3.

The Packers were listed with odds of 6/1 to win the 2013 Super Bowl, 3/1 to win the 2013 NFC Championship and just shy of 1/3 favorites to win the NFC North. There is actually value in all of these future bets, even the risk placed on the NFC North. Oddsmakers have the Packers winning UNDER 12 games at -135 while the OVER pays slightly better than EVEN odds.

The Cleveland Browns chances of winning a Super Bowl this season are pretty low, hence the reason for the early 100/1 odds. They are also 25/1 long shots to win the AFC North. Oddsmakers have the OVER/UNDER set at 5 regular season wins.

The Browns did beat Detroit in their first preseason game last week. Quarterback Brandon Wheeden only completed 3-of-9 passes for 62 yards with one interception. Cleveland's starters are expected to play into the third quarter.
