Sunday, Oct. 25 Green Bay at Cleveland Bookmaker.com line – Green Bay -6.5 (41.5) Packers coaches will do everything under the slate-gray Green Bay sky to prevent their team from looking ahead to Favre Bowl II on Nov. 1, but the players are smart enough on their own to know that they can’t stumble here and expect to make a credible run at the Vikings in the NFC North. GB seems to be spending time this week preparing for the Browns’ version of the Wildcat, which had some success with Joshua Cribbs taking direct snaps last Sunday in a 27-14 loss to Pittsburgh. Another problem in Green Bay – penalties. The Packers are on a pace to set a team record for most penalties in a season.
