Packers vs. Browns Predictions, Picks & Odds: NFL Week 3, Sunday 9/21
Thanks to playing back on Thursday Night Football in Week 2, the Green Bay Packers head to the Dawg Pound this Sunday with some extra rest to take on the Cleveland Browns. It’s an interconference clash we don’t see too often, but we’ve still broken it down to provide you with our best Packers vs. Browns predictions.
Even if you’re in Green Bay without legal sports betting like Cleveland, we’ve still added a guaranteed Novig Sportsbook promo code bonus to the best bet from our Packers vs. Browns picks!
Packers vs. Browns Predictions for NFL Week 3, Sunday 9/21
The Packers' defense is for real. Some fans may have forgotten since we haven’t seen them since Thursday night of Week 2, but now, having seen the Detroit Lions score a whopping 52 points this past Sunday, shutting them down in Week 1 looks even more impressive.
That Green Bay defense then hit our best bet by holding the Washington Commanders to just 18 points on TNF, and now, they get an 0-2 Browns team. Cleveland has scored just 16 and 17 points through the first two weeks of the season, so it’s no surprise that the Packers vs. Browns odds heavily favor Jordan Love and company.
Despite that, the primary focus of our Packers vs. Browns predictions for Week 3 is actually on a Cleveland player!

Packers vs. Browns Best Bet: Joe Flacco Over 22.5 Completions (-111 at Novig)
Not only is our target a Browns player, but it’s none other than a 40-year-old QB. Joe Flacco had his reunion in Baltimore last Sunday, but will be back in front of the home crowd this Sunday. That said, we’re not exactly picking Cleveland to pull off a crazy upset.
In fact, the likelihood of them trailing for much of this game is actually a factor in our favorite approach. With that being the case, Flacco should be throwing early and often, just as he had to begin this season. In each of the Browns' first two games, the former Super Bowl MVP has thrown 45 passes in each!
Rather than making pass attempts, the focus of our Packers vs. Browns picks we see more value on completions. He completed 25 passes against the Baltimore Ravens this past Sunday, and we expected this game against Green Bay to be a similar script.
Cleveland does not have the running game they once had with Nick Chubb, and without stud deep threats, it’s dink and dunk downfield for Flacco. Similarly, since we expect the Packers to be in more of a prevent mindset, they’ll likely be giving plenty of cushion to simply keep any explosive plays in check and making the tackle ASAP.
Plenty of these may come in garbage time, but we still love Joe Flacco over 22.5 completions (-111 at Novig) as the best bet from our Packers vs. Browns predictions.
