Eagles vs. Browns predictions for Week 6 of the NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
The Eagles (2-2) will host the Browns (1-4) on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.
Let’s get to the predictions:
Reuben Frank (0-4)
You couldn’t hand pick a better opponent for the Eagles than the Browns, who are last in the NFL in most offensive categories, haven’t scored more than 18 points in a game yet and have scored only seven touchdowns all year. For an Eagles team that’s been wildly inconsistent on both sides of the ball and suddenly finds itself in a very competitive division, an opponent like the Browns should be a chance to get a lot of things right. The Eagles are 8 ½-point favorites, and they’re 17-3 since 2012 when favored by at least 8 ½ points. Then again, with this Eagles team, nothing would surprise us. After seeing them blow a game against the Falcons in the final seconds and then fall behind 24-0 in Tampa without putting up a fight, it’s hard to have a ton of faith in the Eagles against anyone. Simply, they have to win this one. Lose to the Browns at home coming off a bye week with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Lane Johnson all back and healthy wouldn’t be the end of the world. But it would be awfully close.
Eagles 30, Browns 9
Dave Zangaro (1-3)
Even though a Week 5 bye week is extremely early, it came at a good time for the Eagles. They used the week off to get a few of their key players healthier and will enter this game with an offense with all of its weapons. After watching the offense in Tampa, that will be a welcome sight. Even though the Browns have a solid defense under old friend Jim Schwartz, the Eagles should have the firepower to put up points.
But even if there’s some tough sledding on offense, the Browns’ offense is even worse. Deshaun Watson has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL and his play and contract are handcuffing the entire organization. The Browns’ offense is completely inept so…
