Pack wins 31-16. Surprise hero is Boykin with two TDs and over 100 yards receiving. People forgive him for the Ravens game. Lacey finishes with just under 100 yards, and Hawk gets two more sacks.

Low scoring, 17-10 Packers.
Packers just can't get enough going offensively as the Browns key on the run. But the Packer D is strong enough to gut out a win.
145-2 Packers, 2 because they take a safety at the end not to run up the score.
20-0 Packers.
How long has it been since we've seen a shut out? @NYJ 2010? Ole man Weeden is awful and they're not running the ball on our defense.
And I agree with Tittle, Boykin has a big day. Also think Lacy runs well again.
I like the 20-0 shutout, but I'm adding a defensive score to it.
27-0 and beef streaks the field in the nude!
Redundant, and a visual none of us needed.
Hard to tell how much of Boykin's rough start was on AR and he showed great hustle and awareness in recovering his fumble. Losing both Cobb and JJ is a big blow, but the team will adjust and don't see the offense struggling much more than normal. Adversity builds character and the team plays well in the friendly confines of Lambeau.
Pack 34
Brownies 20
On his radio show yesterday Rodgers did say he missed Boykin on a couple of throws and really likes the way he practices - going all out all the time.

this in spades and AR gets dialed back in.
In honor of breast cancer awareness month and Quarterbacks (namely Rodgers) being the healthiest position on the team, the Packers roll out their new pregame warmup routine where players take turns punching cancer patients while eating a cheeseburger with Big Mac Sauce (because they're 'muricans!).
Rodgers and Weeden are named team captains and go out for the coin flip. Rodgers actually wins the toss but in a moment of grace defers to his elder and the Browns take the opening kickoff, which is what Rodgers wanted anyway because that cancer patient is still standing.
Fancy this logic, just based on the last game...
Cle = worse O than Bal (so Clev should score under 17)
Cle = similar D as Bal (so GB should score at least 19)
GB = due to player losses, potentially worse on O vs Clev than vs Balt
GB = due to player loss, potentially worse on D vs Clev than vs Balt
GB gains home field advantage vs Clev
********************************************************************
GB has 2 or more delay-of-game penalties just to drive us crazy
Crosby kicks 3 FGs
Lacy goes over 100 yds (1 TD)
Jordy is mostly shutdown
One of our new "pass receivers" has at least one fumble
Finley has a huge day (2 TDs)
GB 30
Cle 13
About time we start getting some ints.
Pack 42-11.
Kim Heidorn came to Hidden Valley Elementary in the fall of 1973. It's fair to say I was smitten from the start. We kept an eye on each other from a distance the way many 8 year olds do but it was senseless to deny the chemistry between us.
And so it came to pass that when it was time for things to escalate I did the only sensible thing. I challenged Kim to a tetherball game. My plan was to let Kim win as an ice breaker. The other kids knew of my mastery of the game so they were quick to notice a closer game than anticipated.
At some point it became evident Kim simply didn't have the game to take what was being handed to her. I dispatched of her and that was that. We admired each other from a distance but things would never advance any farther. I had simply lost all respect for her. Sometimes there's simply too much talent.
There's a lesson here.
Scout team - 23
Cleveland - 13
Packers injuries finally are too much. Offense struggles all day and Jordy is locked up by their number one corner. Browns TE has a big day against inexperienced LBs. Browns win 24-16.
That said, my grandson is turning 5 years old today and having his birthday party at my house. Nix all of that other BS I just said:
Pack 5
Browns 0
I like the Packers 20-17. Rodgers will have a good game and Lacy will again gain 100 yards.
Just saw on NFL Network that Peyton Manning is returning to Indy tonight. Thought this would have received more coverage.
Rich Eisen @richeisen
Yes, Brett Favre just said on NFL GameDay Morning that he loves fantasy football and his QB is @AaronRodgers12
Always thought he was a genius.
Andrew Brandt @adbrandt
One day I was wearing a wool coat. Brett asked me what it was made of; before I could answer he rubbed it and said "Felt."
Or not...
Myles White has a great move at the LOS... Expect a long TD for him.
