NEXT OPPONENT: GREEN BAY (4-2)

The Packers have won three in a row and, with Chicago suffering key injuries to Jay Cutler and Lance Briggs, are emerging as the favorite in the NFC North.

OPPONENT WEEK 7

Green Bay 31, Cleveland 13

Aaron Rodgers passed for three TDs, and rookie Eddie Lacy had 82 yards rushing and a TD as the Packers beat the visiting Browns on Sunday. Green Bay played without WRs James Jones and Randall Cobb, who are injured, and TE Jermichael Finley (neck injury) left on a stretcher.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

Aaron Rodgers, quarterback

Despite a rash of injuries to his receivers, Rodgers is having a typical Rodgers season: 1,906 yards, 13 TD passes, only four interceptions, QB rating of 104.5 (fourth best in the NFL).

OUTLOOK

Rodgers might be playing with second-string WRs, and the defense might be without LB Clay Matthews (broken thumb), but the Packers are in a nice little groove. Outlook: Horns down.
