Green Bay Packers vs. Cleveland Browns odds opened with the Packers as a -6 ½ favorite. The line has only moved up a half point at some online bookmakers though a few are still listing this one at -6 ½. Bookmaker.com was one of the few heading into Thursday afternoon that had Green Bay at -6 ½ odds. Some books have pulled the line off this game due to the Browns flu bug crisis.
Two Browns players have been diagnosed with Influenza A, which is related to the H1N1 virus, coach Eric Mangini said today.
But the team appears to have arrested the flu epidemic that affected a total of 12 players this week.
Mangini said that linebacker Kamerion Wimbley and nose tackle Shaun Rogers rejoined the team today. Ten others remained at home for precuationary reasons.
"There haven't been any new cases, so that's positive," Mangini said. "As for the rest of group (still missing), I'm not totally sure yet (when they'll be back), but we're going to be as cautious as we can with this to make sure we don't go into the weekend with the group not having it getting it."
These two teams have split the series this decade.
