Eagles vs. Browns Betting Preview

Philadelphia continues to muddle its way through this season after losing to the rival Giants last week 27-17. The Eagles allowed offensively-challenged New York to drive its first two possessions of the game 85 and 75 yards to touchdowns and trailed 14-3 at the half. Philly pulled to within 14-11 early in the third quarter and only trailed 21-17 into the fourth but came up empty from there to lose outright as a five-point favorite.

The Eagles got out-gained by the Giants 382-346, lost time of possession by a 32:28 split, and totally whiffed on 3rd-down conversions, going 0/9.

Philadelphia has now been out-gained and out-rushed in four of its last six games.

The Eagles started 1-4-1 this season, then it looked like they might have something going with back-to-back wins over the Giants and Dallas. But now, once again, we can’t figure out what the hell these guys are up to or if they’ve got any betting value.

And still, at 3-5-1 overall, Philadelphia leads the pathetic NFC East by one game over the second-place Giants.

Meanwhile, Cleveland is 2-2 SU, 0-4 ATS over its last four games, following an underwhelming 10-7 victory over Houston last week. On a blustery day in C-Town, the Browns drove the opening possession of the game 52 yards to a field goal, added a Nick Chubb touchdown early in the fourth quarter, and held on from there for the W. However, they missed out on the cover as 4.5-point favorites when Chubb unselfishly ran out of bounds at the Texans’ 1-yard line in the final minute, rather than scoring.

Cleveland out-gained Houston 356-243, out-rushed the Texans 231-90 and won the time of possession by a 33:27 split.

The Browns have now out-gained only three of their nine opponents this season, but they’ve also out-rushed seven of their nine foes. And Cleveland is 6-1 when it wins the ground battle.

Three games ago, the Browns lost WR Odell Beckham for the season to a knee injury in the first quarter against Cincinnati. The Browns went on to win that game 37-34, but since then, they’ve scored a total of 16 points.

At 6-3 overall, Cleveland trails division-leading Pittsburgh by three games in the AFC North, but it also trails Miami by just a tie-breaker in the battle for the second AFC wild-card spot.

These teams last met four seasons ago, a 29-10 Eagles victory.
