The Green Bay Packers and Cleveland Browns open their preseasons at Cleveland Browns Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (NFL+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Packers vs. Browns odds, and'make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
The Packers open the preseason on the road for the 3rd consecutive season. Last season, Green Bay roughed up the Cincinnati Bengals 36-19 to cover as a 4.5-point favorite as the Over (35) cashed.
Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur said earlier in the week that QB Jordan Love will play Saturday, while Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed QB Deshaun Watson will sit out. Instead, QB Jameis Winston will get the nod for the preseason opener.
WR Cedric Tillman is a player expected to see a longer look for the Browns in this preseason opener, as the team is unlikely to use WR Amari Cooper very much, if at all.
