Browns vs. Eagles Odds
Game Preview
Shedeur had the crucial role in the win over the Panthers, 30-10. He was 14-for-23 for 138 passing yards and two touchdown passes. Apart from that, he had 19 rushing yards and was constantly pressuring Carolina’s defense, making them confused. Sanders often mixed his receivers, making his offense versatile.
On the other hand, the defense was solid, and that’s something expected from the Browns. Rookie DT Mason Graham didn’t spend too much time on the field, while Myles Garrett didn’t play at all.
The Eagles’ offense showcased its high-octane power against the Bengals, leading the team to a 34-27 victory. And that was without Hurts, Barkley, and several other superstars. So who led Philly’s attack then? QB Tanner McKee was masterful, with him posting 252 passing yards for 2 touchdown passes and 20 completions in 25 attempts.
And not just this, because McKee scored a rushing touchdown from a one-yard line, when the whole team put effort in helping this guy to carry the ball over the line and crown his excellent performance.
Browns vs. Eagles Head to Head
After 51 games, the record is in Cleveland’s favor, 32-18-1. They met last year, and Philly won at home, 20-16.
Browns vs. Eagles Predictions
This is going to be a highly efficient game. Philly will use some of its starters, while the Browns are coming with fired-up Sanders, and that’s why we pick over 39.5.
