Free pick for NFLX action between Philly and Cleveland
Week 3 of the NFL preseason gets underway this Thursday night with the Philadelphia Eagles heading to Cleveland to face the Cleveland Browns in a 8 p.m. start at FirstEnergy Stadium. FOX will carry the national broadcast and VietBet's opening line has the Eagles as slight two-point road favorites with the total set at 42.
The Eagles are off to a 0-2 start both straight-up and against the spread in their four-game preseason schedule. A 31-14 loss at home against Pittsburgh as three-point favorites was followed by last Thursday’s 37-20 loss to New England as four-point road underdogs. The total went OVER in each contest.
Now that Philadelphia has lost to the two best teams in the AFC, it will try and get its first preseason win against the worst team in the conference last year. Look for Nick Foles to get the start at quarterback despite leaving last week’s game with a slight shoulder injury. Nate Sudfeld has been impressive in his time under center including 312 yards passing and three touchdown throws against the Patriots in Week two.
The NFL betting odds have held fast at Elite-rate VietBet, with the Super Bowl champions as road dogs.
Philadelphia Eagles (+3.5)
Cleveland Browns (-3.5)
Over 41.5 -105
Under 41.5 -110
Cleveland has split its first two preseason games starting with a 20-10 victory against the New York Giants as a one-point road favorite. Last Friday, the Browns lost to Buffalo 19-17 as three-point home favorites with Elite-rated VietBet. The total stayed UNDER in each of those two games. Cleveland is coming off a winless regular season at 0-16 after winning all four preseason games in 2017 both SU and ATS.
The quarterback situation in Cleveland remains clouded despite the fact that head coach Hue Jackson has made it clear that veteran Tyrod Taylor is the starter come opening day of the regular season. That is because the Browns used the first overall pick in this year’s draft to select former Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield. He completed 7-of-13 passes against Buffalo last week for 75 yards. Cleveland passed for a total of 83 yards in that loss.
This game should act as the final dress rehearsal for both teams ahead of the season opener in two weeks. I am banking on the real Eagles showing up for this one as defending Super Bowl Champs to win both SU and ATS.
