Eagles vs Browns NFL Preseason Week 2: Betting Preview and Odds Analysis
The Philadelphia Eagles face the Cleveland Browns in Week 2 of the NFL preseason, with the Eagles coming off a 24-21 loss to the Jets and the Browns fresh from a 24-13 win over the Jaguars.
The Eagles are focusing on evaluating depth pieces, particularly running back Jason Huntley, who impressed last week with 16 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown, plus 4 receptions for 39 yards.
For the Browns, the quarterback situation is key with Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension. Joshua Dobbs showed promise in preseason, going 10-of-13 for 108 yards and a touchdown, while Josh Rosen went 6-of-7 for 56 yards. Jacoby Brissett won't play until the final preseason game.
Betting Lines:
- Eagles: -2 (road favorite)
- Over/Under: 35.5
Analysis and Pick: The coaching records tell a story - Nick Sirianni is 0-3 in preseason games while Kevin Stefanski is 4-0. With Dobbs getting significant playing time and Cleveland's solid defensive depth, expect the Browns to control the game through their running attack. Cleveland allowed just 77 rushing yards in their opener, compared to Philadelphia's 119 yards given up.
The Pick: Take the Browns +2. Their strong preseason track record under Stefanski and superior quarterback situation with Dobbs makes them likely to cover and win outright.
