The Philadelphia Eagles (0-1) and Cleveland Browns (1-0) meet in preseason action Sunday. Kickoff from FirstEnergy Stadium is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (NFL Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Eagles vs. Browns odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.
In their preseason opening 24-21 home loss, the Eagles reserves were outscored by the Jets reserves 21-7 in the second half. Philly’s starters were solid as the Eagles led 14-0 after 1 quarter and 14-3 at the break.
Cleveland went on the road last week and topped Jacksonville 24-13. The Browns didn’t use many starters, including top RBs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.
Embattled QB Deshaun Watson did start, completing just 1 of 5 passes for 7 yards. After falling behind 13-0 early in the second quarter, the Browns rattled off 24 unanswered points, including a pick-6 in the final minute of the 1st half.
After the NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed on an 11-game suspension for Watson midweek, Brown coach Kevin Stefanski announced that Watson will not play the final 2 preseason games. So, expect to see a lot of QBs Jacoby Brissett, Josh Dobbs and Josh Rosen Sunday.

Eagles at Browns picks and predictions
Prediction
Eagles 24, Browns 16
Money line
The EAGLES (-140) starting unit looked solid last week against the Jets with QB Jalen Hurts leading the offense to a touchdown – a 22-yard pass to TE Dallas Goedert – on the opening drive.
Even though many of the Philly starters aren’t expected to play Sunday, look for Philly to get off to a similar start as their reserves are competing for jobs. BET PHILADELPHIA (-140).
Against the spread
While Tipico Sportsbook is currently listing this game off the board, PHILADELPHIA -2.5 (-110) is worth a HALF-UNIT wager.
Philly RB Miles Sanders (hamstring) is out, but the team has plenty of depth at the running back position.
With reserves battling for roster spots, look for Philadelphia leave Cleveland with a win.

Over/Under
The OVER 35.5 (-115) is a good play Sunday.
We saw the Over connect in 13 of the first 16 NFL preseason games in Week 1, including the 1st outings for each of these teams. It won’t be a track meet, but we’ll have some decent skill position players, even at the backup spots, to inch this one across the finish line.
