Green Bay Packers vs. Cleveland Browns: Line Still at -7

The Green Bay Packers vs. Cleveland Browns line was sitting at Packers -7 at SBG Global.  The line on this game had moved all the way up to -9 ½ at some spots.  SBG Global was the only book offering a line this short heading into Sunday morning. 

Much of the reason for the huge line movement had to do with news that the Browns were decimated by the flu bug.

So what's the latest on the flu front?

Only one player (defensive end Corey Williams) still had it but that doesn't mean the effects are still not lingering.  The flu bug certainly put a damper on the Browns ability to practice effectively.

The reason this line can be found so low even with word of a flu outbreak and what is obviously a lopsided matchup has a lot to do with the idea that Green Bay is overlooking this game with the Minnesota Vikings coming up the following week.  That could present a problem here. 

Cleveland actually managed to beat Green Bay on the road just three years ago.  At the time they were a +6 point underdog.
