Eagles vs. Browns prediction: NFL preseason picks, odds, best bets

15:16 19.08.2023

In a highly anticipated NFL preseason matchup, the New York Jets showcased their dominance on both sides of the ball as they defeated the Carolina Panthers 27-0. The Jets' defense, in particular, put on an impressive display, completely shutting down the Panthers' offense led by first-overall pick Bryce Young. Young was unable to find any success on the field, punting on all three of his drives, including two three-and-outs.

The Jets' defensive line was the standout unit of the game, wreaking havoc on the Panthers' offensive line. They recorded an impressive 10 hurries, five sacks, and two other quarterback hits, causing constant disruption and frustration for Carolina. If the Jets' defensive line continues to perform at this high level, their defense will undoubtedly be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.

Looking ahead to their next preseason game, the Jets are expected to maintain their dominance on defense as they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers will be starting Kyle Trask at quarterback instead of their star player Baker Mayfield, which should provide an opportunity for the Jets' defensive line to continue their success. The Jets have a strong track record in preseason games under head coach Robert Saleh, boasting a 6-1-1 record straight up and a 6-2 record against the spread.

The Jets also have an impressive backup quarterback in Zach Wilson, who has been consistently performing well in preseason matchups. Although Wilson is still a rookie and has yet to prove himself as an NFL quarterback, he has shown promise in his two preseason appearances against second-string players. In those games, Wilson completed 17 of his 25 attempts for 188 yards and a touchdown. His ability to lead the offense effectively during the preseason is a positive sign for the Jets' depth at the quarterback position.

On the other side of the field, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have struggled in preseason games under head coach Todd Bowles, currently maintaining an 0-4 record both straight up and against the spread. This puts the Jets in a favorable position to continue their preseason success and secure a victory against the Buccaneers.

Switching gears to another preseason matchup, the Philadelphia Eagles will be facing off against the Cleveland Browns. While the Eagles may have the overall more talented roster, there are factors pointing towards the Browns being the stronger team in this game. The Browns will be playing their third preseason game, compared to the Eagles' second, giving them an edge in terms of game experience.

One key aspect to consider is the quarterback situation. The Eagles' starting quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts and Marcus Mariota, are not expected to see much playing time in the second half. Instead, the Eagles will be relying on Tanner McKee and Ian Book, who have not shown much promise during the preseason. In contrast, the Browns have Joshua Dobbs, Kellen Mond, and rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who has impressed with his performances in the first two preseason games.

Thompson-Robinson, a fifth-round pick out of UCLA, has been highly efficient, completing over 80 percent of his passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns. This gives the Browns a clear advantage at the quarterback position, especially in the second half of the game.

Another factor to consider is the joint practices that took place between the two teams leading up to the game. Many coaches value these joint practices more than preseason games, as they provide a more competitive and controlled environment to evaluate their players. In this case, it is believed that the Browns will benefit more from the joint practices, giving them an additional edge over the Eagles.

Taking all of these factors into account, it is predicted that the Browns will cover the spread and secure a victory against the Eagles. The Browns' advantageous quarterback situation and their experience from playing a third preseason game make them the more favorable side in this matchup.

In conclusion, the Jets and Browns are both expected to continue their preseason success in their upcoming matchups. The Jets' dominant defense and strong backup quarterback give them an edge against the Buccaneers, while the Browns' superior quarterback situation and game experience make them the more favorable side against the Eagles. Both teams will be looking to solidify their preseason dominance and gain momentum heading into the regular season.
