Philadelphia Eagles vs Cleveland Browns Prediction
I’m looking at the under. This is a big number with the Eagles to be laying, so that could indicate that A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, or both could be back for this game. That being said, I still have no faith in the Browns’ offense in this one, but I’m also not trying to back the Eagles by double-digits with so many question marks. The defenses are solid on both sides from a talent perspective, and I think the under comes in in the end.
