The Cleveland Browns are set to travel to face the Philadelphia Eagles in an inter-conference matchup on Sunday. While the betting line suggests a lopsided contest, neither team has fully played up to its potential this season. The disparity between the offensive and defensive units will play a significant role, and whichever side can rise to the challenge will stand a better chance of covering the spread. In this early 2024 season, both teams have a chance to change the course of their season, making this a potential turning point. Don’t let the Vegas line fool you—this could be one of the weekend’s more intriguing games. Let’s break down how Cleveland and Philadelphia match up and see if it’s worth laying or taking the points.
Cleveland Browns: Team Overview
The Cleveland Browns’ offense has been one of the most disappointing units in the NFL so far in 2024. They entered the season with higher expectations but have been shaky across the board. The Browns rank last in total offensive yardage and sit 30th in passing and 26th in rushing. Averaging just 15.8 points per game, Cleveland’s struggles are most evident on third downs, where they rank dead last in conversion rate. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has struggled behind a porous offensive line, being sacked 26 times this season while posting a 5:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio. His inability to stretch the field has hurt the Browns’ passing attack, and with top wideouts Amari Cooper and Jerry Jeudy underutilized, Cleveland has not completed a pass longer than 30 yards all season.
With star running back Nick Chubb sidelined, the Browns hoped their rushing attack would still be effective, but Jerome Ford has only managed 50 yards per game with a single touchdown. As Cleveland often finds itself trailing, they’ve abandoned the run early in most games, making the offense even more one-dimensional. Defensively, Cleveland is much stronger. They rank 7th against the pass and 12th in total yardage allowed. However, they concede 24.2 points per game, mainly due to the offense’s inability to sustain drives. If the offense can improve, the Browns’ defense, led by pass rusher Myles Garrett, has the potential to elevate its game.

Philadelphia Eagles: Team Overview
The Philadelphia Eagles enter Week 6 with a 2-2 record, fresh off a bye in Week 5. That extra week of rest should be beneficial, as they expect the return of key offensive playmakers like AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith. Tight end Dallas Goedert has been the most consistent target for quarterback Jalen Hurts, leading the team with 24 receptions and 301 receiving yards. Hurts has been accurate but streaky, posting as many interceptions as touchdowns while also losing three fumbles. On the ground, the Eagles boast one of the NFL’s top running backs in Saquon Barkley, who has rushed for 435 yards and four touchdowns on 73 carries. Barkley will be a focal point against a Cleveland defense that has been solid but susceptible to a heavy workload.
Defensively, the Eagles have been underwhelming, allowing 376.3 yards per game, with the majority coming through the air. Despite their speed and talent on defense, an inexperienced secondary has been repeatedly beaten. However, they’ll have a chance to rebound against a struggling Browns offense. With Philadelphia facing a sputtering Cleveland team, this game is a must-win for the Eagles, who hope to assert their dominance and get back on track in the NFC.
My Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -9.5 (-110)
Laying nearly 10 points in an NFL game can be risky, but in this matchup, the Eagles look poised to cover. Coming off their bye week and facing a Browns team in disarray, the Eagles should control this game from start to finish. Expect Philadelphia to dominate offensively with the return of their star receivers and the continued production of Barkley. On the other side, Cleveland’s offense will struggle to keep pace, wearing down their defense as the game progresses. Look for a comfortable double-digit victory for the Eagles as they take care of business at home.
